Missing 12.1 versions of jetty-ee10-runner?

[haubi]

Jetty Version 12.1.1

Jetty Environment EE10

Java Version 21

Question
Upgrading Eclipse RAP from 3.29 to 4.4 also upgrades from Jetty EE8 version 12.0 to Jetty EE10 version 12.1.
While I see 12.0 versions of Jetty EE10 Runner available in Maven Central,
for the 12.1 versions there are only some 'alpha' versions available.

Is the absence of org.eclipse.jetty.ee10:jetty-ee10-runner:12.1.1 release(s) on purpose,
or just some oversight while publishing?

jetty-runner was deprecated back in 2017 during the Jetty 10.0.0 days.
It was fully removed in Jetty 12.1.x - #13079

It was riding a legally ambiguous line with the inclusion of various classes that were not created by org.eclipse.jetty.

The whole uber-jar concept is dead, and is an anti-pattern that causes more problems than it solves.
Especially so when it's an uber-jar that's present on a artifact repository that can be included in a build.

There was little use of it, as evidenced by download numbers, and the few questions we did get were always questions about "hey, can you include X jar in the jetty-runner, we need it"

All of those are better handled by jetty-base and jetty-home directory split.

Fine with me, we have scheduled to migrate away from Jetty-Runner.
