-------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
> Make the Spring / Spring Boot dependencies optional
> ---------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CXF-8791
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-8791
> Project: CXF
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Affects Versions: 4.0.0
> Reporter: Andriy Redko
> Assignee: Andriy Redko
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 4.0.0
>
>
> For Apache CXF, the Spring / Spring Boot dependencies are optional at runtime
> however they are still being brought up transitively. For upcoming 4.0.0
> release this is a problem: we would like to stay on JDK-11 as a minimum
> required baseline but Spring 6 / Spring Boot 3 set the JDK baseline to
> JDK-17. Because of such misalignment, using Apache CXF with JDK-11 runtime
> fails with "java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError" error, caused by the
> presence of the Spring 6 / Spring Boot 3 JARs in the classpath.
> The Spring / Spring Boot dependencies should be set as optional and when used
> with Spring 6 / Spring Boot 3, the JDK requirements have to be documented.
