ecabrerar Aug 17, 2018 3:28 PM (in response to gesker)Hi,
Gradle
// https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/javax/javaee-api
provided group: 'javax', name: 'javaee-api', version: '8.0'
Maven
<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/javax/javaee-api -->
<dependency>
<groupId>javax</groupId>
<artifactId>javaee-api</artifactId>
<version>8.0</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
If you only need the web profile, you can use javaee-web-api
Gradle
// https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/javax/javaee-web-api
provided group: 'javax', name: 'javaee-web-api', version: '8.0'
Maven
<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/javax/javaee-web-api -->
<dependency>
<groupId>javax</groupId>
<artifactId>javaee-web-api</artifactId>
<version>8.0</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
Good Luck !

2. Re: EE 8 Maven Dependency

Thanks so much for your reply to my question.
I'm presently using:
providedCompile 'org.wildfly:wildfly-spec-api:13.0.0.Final' and starting
WildFly 13 in "EE 8 mode"
For this new little project mostly I want to be ready for WildFly 14 --
which I think, but don't know for 100% sure, will be fully EE 8
compliant/ready.
Do you see using the wildfly-spec-api artifact as OK or is it a best
practice to use the 'javax:javaee-api:8.0' artifact?
(The POM for wildfly-spec-api seems to have both EE 7 and EE 8
dependencies.)
Cordially,
Dennis

ecabrerar Aug 18, 2018 3:19 PM (in response to gesker)By specifying the org.wildfly:wildfly-spec-api:13.0.0.Final, Gradle will be able to trigger transitive dependencies automatically so you have the full wildfly 13 stack available. The providedCompile directive ensures that the WildFly libraries aren't packaged in the WEB-INF/lib folder.
But you have to remember, by default WildFly 13 launches in EE7 mode. In order to use EE8 you have to enable the preview mode.
I'm using Java EE 8 independently of the application server, in this way, we use the javaee-api dependency and WildFly 13. But wildfly dependency are not declare in the build.gradle file.
With this aproach we have some advantages, we can deploy in any application server compatible with Java EE 8, if you use the wildfly dependency you can only use wildfly or maybe Thorntail (formed wildfly swarm)
Good luck !
