Hi,
As JAXB will be removed from JDK 11, we are moving to Stax for parsing the Hibernate Validator XML descriptors.
One issue is that the javax.xml.stream.api module, which is nicely isolated, typically depends on javax.xml.namespace for the QName class.
Thus all the modules depending on the javax.xml.stream.api also depends on javax.api (which exposes imageio, swing and so on). See the staxmapper or the xts modules for instance.
I'm wondering if we should better isolate the javax.xml features to avoid that situation?
