This upgrade contains multiple major version jumps for critical Spring Boot starters, introducing significant breaking changes that require substantial migration effort.

Top 3 Most Impactful Upgrades:

• org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web 1.5.6.RELEASE → 4.0.0 (HIGH)
• org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-jetty 1.5.6.RELEASE → 3.2.0 (HIGH)

These two upgrades represent a multi-generational leap from Spring Boot 1.5 to Spring Boot 3.x (as 4.0 is not yet released). This is a major undertaking with several layers of breaking changes. It is strongly recommended to upgrade incrementally (e.g., 1.5 -> 2.0 -> 2.7 -> 3.2) rather than in one jump.

Key Breaking Changes:

• Java 17 Required: Spring Boot 3.0 requires Java 17 as a minimum, ending support for Java 8 and 11.
• Jakarta EE Migration: All dependencies have migrated from Java EE to Jakarta EE. This requires changing all javax.* package imports to jakarta.* throughout the application. This is a significant, codebase-wide change.
• Configuration Properties: Numerous configuration properties have been renamed or removed. The spring-boot-properties-migrator module can help identify and temporarily migrate these.
• Spring Security 6.0: Authorization is now applied to every dispatch type by default, which may affect security configurations.
• Removed Deprecations: All APIs deprecated in Spring Boot 2.x have been removed in version 3.0.

• net.masterthought:cucumber-reporting 3.10.0 → 3.17.1 (LOW)

This is a minor version upgrade. While the official release notes were not found, the scope of changes between minor versions in this library is typically focused on bug fixes and small feature additions. No significant breaking changes are expected for this range.

Recommendation: The Spring Boot upgrade is a major project and should not be merged without a dedicated migration and testing plan. Developers must address the Java version, Jakarta EE namespace changes, and updated configurations. Use the official migration guides and the properties migrator tool to assist with the process.
