Hello RESTEasy Devs,
My name is Andy McCright, and I work at IBM - primarily on the Open Liberty project. Some of you may know me from other projects - I've been involved with the Jakarta JAX-RS API community, the MicroProfile community and the Apache CXF community.
In Open Liberty, we're investigating the use of RESTEasy as our JAX-RS 3.0 implementation (and most likely our MP Rest Client implementation as well). As such, I'd like to get involved with the development and maintenance of RESTEasy.
In order for Open Liberty to consume RESTEasy, we'll need it to work with the Jakarta EE 9 / JAX-RS 3.0 APIs (in the jakarta.ws.rs.* packages instead of the javax.ws.rs.* packages). For now, we could use the Eclipse Transformer[1] tool to change the package dependencies, but are there plans to release a new version of RESTEasy that uses the updated packages? Perhaps that is an effort that I could contribute to?
Anyway, I thought I would introduce myself. Thanks for producing a quality JAX-RS implementation. I'm looking forward to getting to know you and this project a little better!
Thanks,
Andy
