[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-3535?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.... ] Alessio Soldano commented on WFLY-3535: --------------------------------------- Frankly speaking, I prefer not to do this. Forgetting to add cxf module dependency is as easy as forgetting any other module dependency. The reason why cxf dependency is not added by default is because cxf module is a big one (it's not the annotations only) and we want to encourage users to write applications as portable as possible. Basically I prefer first time users to think about what they're doing, look at the possible solutions and eventually decide they need CXF and hence add the dependency (the same they'd do with other deps). To me, the fact the annotations from missing dependencies are silently ignored is a different problem, which I originally raised years ago but looks like that's not something being worked. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2.6#6264)
