    Description

      JGroups 3.x hasn't been updated in some time now. The last release was
      in April 2020 almost 2 years ago. Lots of protocols have been updated
      and added and users are wanting to use them. There is also increasing
      concern about using older components triggered mainly by other
      recently-discovered high-profile vulnerabilities in the wider Open
      Source Java community.

      However, there is a cost associated with upgrading.

      The old-style properties configuration is no longer supported. I think
      it's unlikely that end-users are leveraging this because it is not
      exposed via broker.xml. The JGroups XML configuration has been around
      for a long time, is widely adopted, and is still supported. I expect
      most (if not all) users are using this. However, a handful of tests
      needed to be updated and/or removed to deal with this absence.

      Some protocols and/or protocol properties are no longer supported. This
      means that users may have to change their JGroups stack configurations
      when they upgrade. For example, our own clustered-jgroups example had to
      be updated or it wouldn't run properly.
