Description
I just noticed that this mostly replicates what is offered as `jakarta-servlet` (javax + jakarta namespace) already offers, but with slightly different OSGi metadata (e.g. it requires java 11) what leads to some subtile dependency problems here:
- https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.releng.aggregator/pull/3607
as there is not really any description in the repository itself I wonder what is the purpose of offering the same API again that seems to be available else-where?
Should it matter what API bundle/jar is actually used with jetty? Is it for historic reasons?
