Johnzon-2.0.x

Apache Johnzon 2.0.x implements the JSON-P 2.1 and JSON-B 3.0 specifications which are in line with the Jakarta EE Platform 10. This version is not backward compatible due to the namespace change from javax to jakarta. Apache Johnzon does not implement Jakarta EE 9 per se, because there was no change in terms of APIs except the namespace change. So we decided to use Apache Johnzon 1.2.x bellow and publish a Jakarta compatible version using bytecode transformation. All artifacts can be used with the classifier jakarta.
