Apache NetBeans 20

What happened

Right clic on a project, choose New > Other. In the list displayed, "Contexts and Dependency Injection" and "Contexts and Dependency Injection (Jakarta EE)". Is it normal? If it is, it would be good to explain better when to use one rather than the other.

Java

How to reproduce

Explained in "What happened".

Did this work correctly in an earlier version?

No / Don't know

Operating System

Apache NetBeans provided installer

Anything else

What would you suggest? When Oracle decided to drop JavaEE and donate code to the Eclipse Foundation, lawyers/marketing were involved. The JavaEE name was not donated and some clever soul thought, yeah, then the package name has to change. This in turn kills compatbility between JavaEE and JakartaEE. The package names and XML namespaces were changed.

That schism will hunt us for the next decade. CDI is one of the places where it pops up. You have to choose which is the right namespace.

If the difference between the two choices is only the names of the packages, name them "Contexts and Dependency Injection (javax)" and "Contexts and Dependency Injection (jakarta)". It's clearer because the first versions of Jakarta use javax (Jakarta 8 or 9).
Another better solution (is it possible in a NetBeans wizard?) would be to read the version of web.xml or beans.xml, or something similar that distinguishes the versions of Jakarta EE (and Java EE) and decide to use jakarta or javax in the packages.

@richard-grin should be fixed by #7958. Development build available from Checkspage or directly.

Would be great if you could test.
