Re: [jakarta.ee-spec] [jakartaee-platform-dev] Dependency Analysis with

[Tom Jenkinson <tom.jenkinson@xxxxxxxxxx>]

For EE 10, the Jakarta Tansactions project was not updated much beyond the EE9 version except some minor changes that went into a service release so there is no new major version planned for EE 10. That said, I don't understand why the Jakarta Transactions API is required to upgrade it's the CDI dependency (nor why compiling with JDK 8 is a problem, unless it would be a problem if we did need to upgrade CDI dependency).

At the Java level, Jakarta Transactions dependencies are: jakarta.enterprise.context.NormalScope [1], jakarta.enterprise.util.Nonbinding [2] [3] and jakarta.interceptor.InterceptorBinding [3]. These APIs still exist [5] [6] [7] but does the Jakarta Transactions inclusion of older API versions cause some problem?

Hmm, I was under the assumption that the tx version in CDI was the new one for EE 10 but apparently there has been no major so far (wasn't that mandatory?).

The dep was in place for years now and it wasn't an issue but I understand that cyclic dep is not nice.

CDI issue is here - https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/cdi/issues/608

I'll send a PR for removal of that dependency but it might hang in there until Tue since that's the CDI mtg day and it might get some attention there.

Hi Tom,

I agree - Transactions has CDI as valid dependency (right direction, higher level to lower), the core problem is the required dependency of CDI to an already outdated version of Transactions - for documentation reasons only.

Maybe we can ask Matej & Ladislav (cc'ed) to remove this?

Kind regards,
