Migrate your RCP software now!
summary
OpenChrom (and Eclipse SWTChart / ChemClipse) migrates from Photon and Java 8 to Eclipse 2022‑03 and Java 17, encountering concrete issues: JAXB and javax.xml breakage forces switching to Jakarta APIs and the created camclipse.jaxb bundle that packages Jakarta activation, jaxb-api and an implementation; JavaFX is removed and 3D plots are rebuilt with plotly in SWT Browser; third‑party jars move to Maven Central via Target Platform/product files; module access requires --add‑exports/--add‑opens JVM flags; build takes ~30+ minutes but the migrated product runs.
