What’s new in Play SOAP 2.x

We have upgraded CXF to the next major version, 4.0. Because CXF 4.0 is based on JakartaEE 9.1, all references to the javax.* classpath needed to be migrated to jakarta.*. For more details, see the CXF 4.0 release notes

In order to support CXF 4.0, Play SOAP 2.x now requires Java 11. CXF 3.5 is the last major release of CXF that supported Java 8.
