+1 for such a page. We also need to align this with our installation
documentation.
Thanks,

for JBoss. We might need to do that for other containers or udpate those

For me the supported list should be for now:
* Jetty
* Tomcat
At least this list would make official what is the current situation
which is not bad.
Well actually it's not 100% true for Jetty either. We do test a lot an
very customized version of Jetty (compared to the setup you get by
default when you download Jetty) plus I had issues last time I tried
to upgrade the version of Jetty (see
https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-15155).
Yes, but we could support Jetty OOB too. Would be good IMO.

It would be nice to have them but I don’t think we have the manpower
ATM so I would leave them to the community for now, as a best effort.
WDYT?
Thanks
