[fedora-java] Eclipse Docker Tooling and Jersey 2.x
For the past little while I've spent time working on providing Docker
Image/Container management capabilities for the Eclipse IDE. This
work has been done upstream and for the time being, will be offered under
the Linux Tools Project. You can take a look at what's currently available
at http://tools.jboss.org/blog/2015-03-30-Eclipse_Docker_Tooling.html .
In preparation for getting this plugin into Fedora, I've looked over its
dependencies and it seems that nearly all are present in Fedora at an
acceptable version. The only dependencies that will require a bit of work
are for Jersey [1]. One of the project's dependencies is on a Java
implementation of the Docker Remote API [2], which requires Jersey 2.x and
it seems that the latest in Fedora is 1.18.3. There seem to be a few
packages that currently depend on Jersey 1.x (ambari, hadoop, hbase, oat).
Does it make sense to update to Jersey 2.x while maintaining a
compatibility version (jersey1) for packages that can't use the newer
version ?
This may affect other packages so I thought I'd at least post to make
others aware.
Cheers,
