It is similar to one of the solutions hinted at in the Netty issue that Gustavo pointed at. [1] The suggestion there was to replace their current uber jar that contains all of the shaded dependencies with a JAR that just depended on everything. Then you would get the benefit of being able to use a single Maven dependency to pull in all of the JAR files without the issues that shading brings. The proposal is to bundle APIs only, but we'll always have tons of optional (and provided) extension points, e.g. we can't include all CacheStore(s), not least as many live in separate repositories. Similarly, many "experimental modules" might provide additional APIs which will need to be accessed like the current Query API: *decoupled* - at least until there's an agreement for inclusion in such an umbrella API. This is unavoidable as someone might start working on such a module without telling us.. incidentally to foster a community of extensions I'd rather have our own API showcase how it works. Also some Java EE APIs - e.g. the JTA API - should never be included; that's "best practice" in community standards - ugly and we could complain that Maven could deal better with it, containers could also deal better with it, but that's how it is. So it's an improvement in the API but it's not sorting out the problems for people not familiar with dependency management. And I believe that's ok! Just making sure we're agreeing on the goals and non-goals. Considering it's a very minor improvement in usability I'm not sold about this direction: you'll have ONE MORE JAR and one more layer of silly indirection to maintain. You might state it's trivial but I don't believe that, as the definition of which components to include is necessarily going to be fuild, makign this "API" more prone to wild changes. The one liner to get a reference to the SearchFactory is no big deal and could be solved better by having CDI and Spring extensions - while maintaining good decoupling - but if it's the path to convince you all to take out the uber jars then by all means do it right now ;) Thanks, Sanne > > Thanks, > Alan > > [1] https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/4671 > > ----- Original Message ----- >> From: "Radim Vansa" <rvansa(a)redhat.com&gt; >> To: infinispan-dev(a)lists.jboss.org >> Sent: Friday, June 9, 2017 3:29:44 AM >> Subject: Re: [infinispan-dev] Why JCache embedded has core as provided dependency >> >> Katia has recently pointed out some usability flaws, and we have >> discussed a central point class that would allow you to explore the API: >> instead of *knowing* about org.infinispan.query.Search or >> org.infinispan.counters.
