[wildfly-dev] API differences javax EE6 vs JBoss EE6 specs

[Chris Ritchie]

The official bundles contained classes with empty methods, causing errors
in some use cases, such as Arquillian tests.

See this post:
https://community.jboss.org/wiki/WhatsTheCauseOfThisExceptionJavalangClassFormatErrorAbsentCode

>From this blog:
"Sun/Oracle stripped out the code from classes that are classified as
"implementations". So all the interfaces are code complete, yet any
abstract class or implementation class has no code in it"

For piece of mind, I would suggest using the same version of jars shipped
with the application server you are using. If you are using JBoss/WildFly,
stick to the jboss bundles.

Cheers

Chris
