When trying to transition from JDK8 to JDK 11, some Jidesoft components, especially the look and feel components failed. When David Norris helped us transition from JDK8 to JDK21, he mutated individual class files in Jidesoft jar using eclipse transformer(https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/technology.transformer), essentially the javax xml dependency in Jidesoft was changed to jakarta xml, which solved the compatibility errors.
However, some changes was already made to replace Jidesoft Ultimate and this epic is to keep a record for all those changes for the future.
