Hi Roberto, I think it is a good idea. The main drawback is that the 3.1.X stream requires compatibility with Java 7. The MicroProfile spec and Rest Client specifically sets Java 8 as the minimum Java level - and the Rest Client specifically makes use of Java 8 syntax and APIs, like lambdas and default interface methods. I don't think it will be possible to build in 3.1.X without a Java 8 compiler. That might be possible, but might not be a good idea because then the MP Rest Client module will be out of sync with the other modules in the 3.1.X stream.
One thing you might consider would be have your projects depend on the MP Rest Client module from 3.2.X, but the rest of CXF be at the 3.1.X level. You would need to run with Java 8 - and there are probably some other changes in the 3.2.X stream that would need to be back ported for compatibility. I did something similar in OpenLiberty here [1] that might help you. Hope this helps, Andy [1] https://github.com/OpenLiberty/open-liberty/pull/1558 On Wed, Feb 28, 2018 at 4:40 AM, Roberto Cortez <radcor...@yahoo.com.invalid > wrote: > Hi, > I was wondering if it would be ok to backport the Microprofile Client > module from the master branch in the 3.1.x branch. > This is because the latest spec of Microprofile, version 1.3, targets > JAX-RS 2.0 and requires the Rest Client 1.0, implemented in 3.2.x, which is > JAX-RS 2.1. > If this is ok, I wouldn't mind submitting a PR myself with the port. > Cheers,Roberto
