> SparkJava (com.sparkjava:spark-core) is a critical dependency in the James codebase,
> used across 90+ files, but has entered an unmaintained state:
>  * 200+ unresolved issues on GitHub
>  * No active development for 3 years (last commit: July 2022)
>  * Compatibility risks with modern Java/Jakarta EE
> Security concerns due to outdated dependencies
> -------------------------
> PROPOSED SOLUTION
> -------------------------
> Adopt the maintained spark-11 fork by nmondal:
> [https://github.com/nmondal/spark-11] 
> Key improvements:
> ---------------------------------
>  - Modern Java 17+ baseline
>  - Virtual thread (Java 21) support
>  - Jetty 12 integration (HTTP/2.0 compatible)
>  - javax -> jakarta API migration
>  - Websocket refactoring for Jetty 11+
