Platform wide guideline for build-in annotation literals?
Hi,
CDI 2.0 introduced a number of very convenient build-in annotation literals, for many of the annotations it owns and for some it doesn't own (JSR 330). See: http://docs.jboss.org/cdi/spec/2.0/cdi-spec.html#built_in_annotation_literals I think something like this would be a prime candidate for an umbrella spec guideline so: 1. All specs do this for their relevant annotations (e.g. @Transactional in JTA, @ViewScoped in JSF, @RememberMe in Security, @Named in AtInject, etc) 2. All specs do this in a consistent way Thoughts? Kind regards, Arjan Tijms

I think you should take this up with
the owners of the next release.

Re: Request for Maven Java EE 8 artifact
Hi Bill, Since the API artifact is distributed as a maven artifact, does it make sense to consider non-maven scenarios? It shouldn't be a problem to configure the Java EE maven project to produce both a lightweight artifact without dependencies and a fat shaded JAR, which would be distributed for people not using maven. From a maven user's perspective, it's always been very weird to depend on a single shaded JAR artifact, without an option to depend on a non-shaded JAR that pulls in transitive dependencies. Most other projects provide both types of artifacts, the shaded fat one usually suffixed with -with-dependencies, e.g. javaee-api-with-dependencies.jar I would strongly recommend going in line with the common practice of delivering both types of API artifacts. Of course, vendors can provide their own non-shaded API artifacts, but having a standard one would make life a lot easier for maven users.

Re: Request for Maven Java EE 8 artifact

Java EE 8 is essentially done.
Your suggested fix would result in an API jar file that's not usable by people who aren't using Maven. If some application server provides a beta API that's not exactly Java EE, it should probably provide an API jar file in its own namespace so that users will know that what they're getting is not Java EE. In any event, I'm going to leave this as an issue to be dealt with for Java EE 9. Maybe then it will all just be modules and we won't have to worry about this!

Hi Bill, What we have now is, as you said, a JAR which contains all the API classes on it. Its pom declares all its dependencies at optional. But those dependencies there are useless for the end user, since they are shaded into the JAR, so I cannot exclude them. Imagine I'm working on a Java EE 7 application server that I've patched to use CDI 2.0. What I'd like to do is: <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>javax</groupId> <artifactId>javaee-api</artifactId> <version>7.0</version> <scope>provided</scope> <exclusions> <exclusion> <groupId>javax.enterprise</groupId> <artifactId>cdi-api</artifactId> </exclusion> </exclusions> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>javax.enterprise</groupId> <artifactId>cdi-api</artifactId> <version>2.0</version> <scope>provided</scope> </dependency> </dependencies> However, with the CDI 1.2 classes being bundled inside the Java EE API JAR, Maven can't remove them, and the compiler will find two versions of the same classes. If I try to use a method added in 2.0 to an existing class it doesn't compile as it happens to find the 1.2 version first. The solution would be to remove all content from the Java EE API jar, and just mark all its dependencies as optional=false. That way, any application dependent on it will get all the APIs directly, while being able to exclude specific parts of it. Specific implementations could then be removed since the artifact would only depend on other already compiled artifacts. This usecase will be more important as we move to more composable and customizable runtimes. Also, it's common for vendors to release beta versions of their server with just a few updated specs. There's an open source application server that is still not Java EE 7 certified as it lacks JPA 2.1 support, but everything else is there. I could exclude the JPA 2.1 API artifact and include the 2.0 one in that case. The way it works now, I'd have to put the Java EE 7 dependency and be careful not to use any JPA 2.1 added methods or classes. My examples were on Java EE 7 which obviously cannot be changed at this point, but hopefelly we can make it for Java EE 8? Regards, Guillermo González de Agüero

Re: Request for Maven Java EE 8 artifact

The Maven project that builds the API
jar file does so by recompiling all the javax.* source files.
Because some of these source files have static dependencies on
non-javax.* classes, those classes are needed when compiling.
Those other classes are not included in the API jar file.
Is this causing a problem for you, or does it just seem weird? Guillermo González de Agüero wrote on 08/22/17 08:44 AM:

The JSF dependency I was seeing is Mojarra implementation, which I don't think belongs there: <dependency> <groupId>org.glassfish</groupId> <artifactId>javax.faces</artifactId> <version>2.3.1</version> <scope>compile</scope> <optional>true</optional> </dependency> That's present in both the web and full poms. I guess that one can be removed and then only a javax.* JavaMail would be needed. Regards, Guillermo González de Agüero

I see some implementation APIs there though for JSF and JavaMail. Could that APIs be also uploaded to Maven Central as you did with JPA (btw, that one also needs to be updated on the Pom)? Thanks a lot for this Lukas. Regards, Guillermo González de Agüero
