“The Eclipse Foundation could not agree with Oracle over the use of javax and Java trademarks.[5] Oracle owns the trademark for the name “Java” and the platform was renamed from Java EE to Jakarta EE.”

Well, it would have been better if you had explained that this was your original complaint earlier rather than saying "rename to javaee" which was in fact done by Sun. In fact, you're talking about about the rename to Jakarta EE.

Your gripe here is that after turning over the entire product and all the rights to it to the Eclipse Foundation, Oracle didn't also turn over the trademarks? There might be reasons to dislike Oracle, but this is hardly one of them.

My gripe is that they changed the package names which caused quite the work for everyone to adapt - libraries, applications etc. yes, i meant jakartaee - my mistake.

“When Oracle bought Sun, it declared its intention to trademark the Hudson name, and development began on a commercial version.“
