Description
The migration from javax to jakarta namespace has been going on for 3+ years and many other projects finished it, e.g. Spring did it with version 6. I think it's time to make useJakartaEe=true the new default.
The old javax namespace can still be used by providing --additional-properties useJakartaEe=false.

Research direction
The issue names the useJakartaEe option but no files or tests. Start by locating that option's definition and current default in the Java generators, then check how generated output is tested. Done means the default is true while explicitly passing useJakartaEe=false still preserves javax behavior.
