Re: [Resteasy-developers] Providers and Future Bloat

[Martin A. <sp...@ma...>]

I just ran into a snag here. I'm working on the pom.xml straightening  
out the dependencies. When depending on resteasy-jaxrs we currently  
pull in things like tjws and httclient. Basically I want all  
dependencies that are not required to fulfil the spec to be optional  
and not pulled in.

This will require some work in RegisterBuiltin.java since it currently  
registers all providers whether optional or not.

Required by spec:
ByteArrayProvider
DefaultTextPlain
DataSourceProvider
FormUrlEncodedProvider
InputStreamProvider
JAXBProvider
StringTextStar

(are we missing providers for Reader, File and  
javax.xml.transform.Source?)

Optional:
DataContentProvider (not in use, delete?)
IIOImageProvider
JettisonProvider
MimeMultipartProvider
StreamingOutputProvider
