This major upgrade from Spring Boot 2.7.17 to 3.5.10 introduces significant breaking changes and requires several manual migration steps. It is based on Spring Framework 6.x.

Highlights:

• Java 17 Baseline: Your project must be upgraded to Java 17, as older versions are no longer supported.
• Jakarta EE Migration: All Java EE APIs have been replaced with their Jakarta EE equivalents. This requires changing all javax.* package imports to jakarta.* throughout the codebase.

Source: Spring Boot 3.0 Migration Guide
Recommendation: This is a major migration effort. It is critical to upgrade the JDK to version 17 and refactor all javax imports to jakarta before merging.
