Is it really necessary to support RESTEasy with JDK7?
For WF10: Java 7 support has been discontinued allowing for deeper integration with the Java 8 runtime.

Definitly not anymore, if we go for new major version aka v3 of RestEasy it can easily require Java 8 as minumum.
 

        
- I would like to see ARQ + WF10+ and get rid of tjws
Get ridding of TJWS is not practical because it will make the test time
unacceptable. But replacing them with undertow container would be great
:-)
A lot of tests just don't depend on the environment. I create arquillian
But there are tests which pass on tjws, but failed with WF10 / EAP7, you can check the jira link I shared in previous email or see below
  • I run upstream TS on perf-machine. I build resteasy. Then I run tests:
    • Tests tooks 10 minutes.
  • I run qe-internal-resteasy-ts on the same perf-machine. Qe-internal-resteasy-ts contains all tests from upstream. These tests are run against EAP.
    • Tests tooks 13 minutes.
So in my point of view, test time with ARQ + WF10 is definitelly acceptable.

ARQ in general, as we can just configure different profiles  for other containers if we want to.

Having current mess with each test/ module having their own version of jetty / tjsw is just plain wrong.

Also keep in mind that tjsw was never fully tested against servlet TCK, so fixing any tests code for bugs found on uncertifed platform is just wrong.
