[wildfly-dev] Fwd: dzone rant on resteasy/modules

[Bill Burke]

I've had this conversation with Stuart before about resteasy modules. 
We didn't come to a conclusion as there's pro's and con's each way. 
BTW,  You can't exclude exports, which is the very same problem we're 
seeing with ee spec module.

IMO, the problem is with JBoss Modules.  If you add an exclude for a 
module, you should expect that module to be excluded.  Even if that 
module is exported by an implicit dependency.
