V1.15.0

Highlights of this release is the support for jakarta annotations in E4 parts (Inject, PostConstruct, PreDestory, etc...) as well as lambda support for listeners.

The XWT component has been removed due to increasing incompatibilities with the latest Eclipse release.

Several of our old dependencies have been removed, migrated or updated:

• Digester3 -> JAXB
• Commons-Logging -> Removed
• Commons-Lang -> Commons-Lang3
• Commons-Collections -> Commons-Collections4
