#2 it would be nice to have #validateAll or a group called javax.validation.groups.All to validate all groups without knowing the concrete groups.

Emmanuel
What's the use case they were invoking? ( my favorite mantra :) )

Gerhard
i think it was just: if you are using groups for partial validation you might have a wizard and in every step you validate with a different group and they needed the concept instead of collecting all groups manually (e.g. in the service which finally saves the new entry) -> they requested an api for validating every constraint which is available in the given object-graph -> the service can perform a full validation before it processes the data.
