Here is my personal todo/wish list for Trixie:

- Upgrade Maven to 3.9.x, maybe 4.0
- Upload Jetty 12
- Update the Eclipse libraries (Jetty 12 is required)
- Non-versioned Tomcat package ('tomcat' instead of 'tomcat10')
- Tomcat 11
- Start testing the packages with Java 24/25
- Include OpenJDK 25 (next LTS) in Trixie as a preview
- Kotlin/Gradle upgrades
- Bring back DCEVM for the latest JDKs
