Upgrading from an earlier version?

• You need to update restx.version to 1.0.0.
• Your project should now use Java 17 to work with this version and futures releases
• Dependency module restx-server-jetty7 is removed

Module merged

Some module has Java 8 compatibility, but with latest release has only Java 17 support and more, these modules was useless and merged.

• if you’re using module restx-core-java8, you just need to import restx-core.
• if you’re using module restx-jongo-java8, you just need to import restx-jongo.
• if you’re using module restx-samplest-java8, you just need to import restx-samplest.
• if you’re using module restx-specs-tests-java8, you just need to import restx-jongo.

Module disabled

We don’t consider these modules to be mandatory at first, and updating them is rather complex, so we’ve decided to temporarily disable them.

• restx-apidocs-doclet
• restx-api-doclet-test
• restx-jongo-specs-tests
