End of Life is a natural state for any open-source software that has thrived as long as Jetty and CometD. However, we know that End of Life does not mean End of Use, and businesses must have a clear path to deal with this situation.
The all-inclusive support option for End of Life support is with Webtide Lifecycle Support, a comprehensive solution for your developer and production support needs regarding our open-source projects, including private access to EOL releases. This option gives your organization peace of mind, and you may call upon the developers of Jetty and CometD for any development or production needs. If you have migration, performance, or security-related issues, we are here to help. In addition. For strictly binary support, check out our amazing partners!
TuxCare secures the open-source software the world builds on. Today, we protect over 1.2 million workloads – keeping them secure, compliant, and unstoppable at scale. From operating systems to development libraries and production applications, we power your open-source stack with enterprise-grade security and support: endless lifecycle extensions for out-of-support software versions, rebootless patching for every major Linux distro, enterprise-optimized support for community Linux, and our Linux-first vulnerability scanner that cuts through the noise.
HeroDevs is the trusted leader in providing secure, long-term support for deprecated open-source software. Our mission is to keep these critical technologies running smoothly, securely, and in compliance long after their official end-of-life.
We are confident that this approach to EOL software will benefit the community by providing clear direction on obtaining up-to-date, secure EOL software.
Briefly, the process works behind the scenes as follows.
- Webtide curates a private fork of Jetty and CometD repositories.
- Webtide will fix issues for Lifecycle Support customers as needed.
- Potential CVE issues are reported through the usual channels.
- Webtide will resolve CVEs and test for performance and stability.
- Our partners will generate new Jetty and CometD release binaries for distribution.
Finally, if you must rely on EOL Jetty and CometD binaries, we encourage you to contact one of our partners for a binary solution or Webtide for a comprehensive support solution.
