Hi,
I am writing this as there has been some discussion on internal mailing
list and David has pointed out that it should be discussed publicly.
JAF is part of JDK since version 6, so question is if we should remove
javax.activation dependency and javax.activation module from AS?
There are still some other dependencies(mail,javax.bind,xml
registry,...) that still use activation as its dependency.
I have verified that AS work correctly if javax.activation module is
removed and some other configuration changes applied so question is if
we want to this or not?
As David pointed out on my pull request
https://github.com/jbossas/jboss-as/pull/1527#issuecomment-3973535 this
ties us more to JDK and prevents us from doing any local modification to
activation.jar.
WDYT?
