Can we agree to drop support for Wildfly 26? If so, I’ll file an issue.

I’m not sure which versions are still supported when I look at the roadmap linked below? I’m fine with dropping the support for 26, though

I think we do not support it already, have a look here

=\> [WildFly Documentation](https://docs.wildfly.org/#_wildfly_previous_releases)

Version 26 is the last one that supports Jakarta EE 8. Jakarta EE 8 (Sep 2019) still uses the `javax.*` package namespace. It’s essentially exactly the same as Java EE 8 (Aug 2017), it was only the brand name that has changed.

So it is basically housekeeping to remove it.

That’s why I was asking. Of course we do support WildFly, but there is explicit support for 26. Thanks for confirming.

I changed the title, I assume we should drop Tomcat 9 also.

Sure Tomcat 9 is the last Tomcat version that supports Java ee 8. See [Apache Tomcat® - Which Version Do I Want?](https://tomcat.apache.org/whichversion.html)
