[wildfly-dev] JPADependencyProcessor "infecting" classpath with the wrong Javassist version

Hi all, Scott sent a nice PR to Wildfly a while back to fix the problem: - https://github.com/wildfly/wildfly/pull/9305 It wasn't merged, I guess it's not a priority for WildFly but let me clarify that without such fixes it's impossible for people to use newer versions of Hibernate ORM on WildFly, and I suspect lots of pain as well for other libraries using Javassist. There's quite some people in the Hibernate community who expressed interest in using a not-so-stale version as the one which is typically available in the latest stable release of WildFly. To make this happen, all Hibernate projects are now publishing "WildFly modules" which can be easily downloaded as additional drop-in layer. Granted these are not for everyone but we get good feedback from the power users interested, and not least this allows us to develop all our projects while regularly testing integration with WildFly, making sure that the eventual integration goes smoother. The current problem is that the WildFly JPADependencyProcessor adds the wrong version of javassist to the deployments, and there's no way for us to prevent this or override this, making it impossible to use a recent version of Hibernate ORM as it requires a newer version. - https://github.com/wildfly/wildfly/blob/6b61a6003f704221f66dcd9f418bcb7af... We'd highly appreciate if that PR could be merged? Including on product branches please, as enforcing a dependency which is neither needed nor desired is going to break a long list of other frameworks as well. Thanks, Sanne
