[hibernate-dev] Javassist dependency conflict in the ORM modules for WildFly

[Gunnar Morling]

Would be interesting to know why JipiJapa is depending on it. In a quick
search I couldn't spot any actual usages.

JPADependencyProcessor adds a dependency to "org.javassist", maybe that
could be avoided by having the ORM module re-export the version of JipiJipa
it is using? For that he module ZIP would have to contain a module for the
new JipiJapa version and ORM's module.xml would depend on it and re-export
it.
