Hi Guys, In Karaf features, we use specs bundles created from Apache Servicemix, which are using javax package name. Also in Apache Karaf, there is a specs module which is also using javax package name. Given the Karaf is a universal OSGi container and needs to support a lot more projects(Camel, Activemq, OPS4J, etc) outside CXF, I don't think the ecosystem around Karaf can move to jakarta package name that fast.
So I think we can start the jakarta package rename work from a restricted scope in CXF , say, Jim's PR can skip the OSGi support for now(as we still have cxf released jars without the jakarta classifier which have full OSGi support). We can see if this transformer plugin solution will work out for non-OSGi scenarios first. Moving forward, we can add OSGi support for CXF jakarta package name jars once the ecosystem in OSGi matures. IMO, ideally the best time to support CXF work with jakarta ee 9.1/10.0 API in OSGi container is when jakarta ee 9.1/10.0 API becomes the first citizen in CXF(we use jarkarta package name in CXF but not the transform solution) Best Regards Freeman On Sat, Nov 6, 2021 at 3:07 AM Romain Manni-Bucau <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > There are several Karaf users, as well as aries-jaxrs which use CXF in > OSGi. > Not sure SMix will but Geronimo#specs still targets Jakarta and if needed > we can create all the artifacts there - it is one of the reason we didn't > stop doing specs, cause Jakarta does not care of OSGi, even if now the > licensing is better. > > Romain Manni-Bucau > @rmannibucau <https://twitter.com/rmannibucau> | Blog > <https://rmannibucau.metawerx.net/> | Old Blog > <http://rmannibucau.wordpress.com> | Github < > https://github.com/rmannibucau> | > LinkedIn <https://www.linkedin.com/in/rmannibucau> | Book > < > https://www.packtpub.com/application-development/java-ee-8-high-performance > > > > > Le sam. 6 nov. 2021 à 03:00, Andriy Redko <[email protected]> a écrit : > > > Hi Jim, > > > > Thank you for working on this.
