Today we’d like to announce the release of RESTEasy 6.2.12.Final and RESTEasy 7.0.0.Beta1. 7.0.0.Beta1 RESTEasy 7.0.0.Beta1 is a Jakarta REST 4.0 implementation. This is the first beta release, a long time coming if I’m being honest.

As of recently we’ve moved some projects out of the default RESTEasy repository into their own repository. This gives us the ability to release these...

I spent some time investigating the topic, and I’d like to share what I have learned in this blog post. The OpenAPI is a specification1 by itself, and it doesn’t enforce its implementations.

The project contains a minimal REST based service and a test case, and it uses the maven-wildfly-plugin to produce a provisioned WildFly server for the integration testing. The maven-wildfly-plugin has integrated WildFly Glow2 since 5.0.0.Alpha13. I have created the PR to the sample project to enable the feature4. I’ll give some brief description to the above...
