I don’t have the code in front of me, but I remember that for JAX-RS providers there was a check for a “user”/“custom” boolean - the built-in providers are false, user providers (regardless of priority) are true. That boolean is checked before the ‘@Priority’ annotation.
With the new emphasis on using ‘@Priority’ in the JAX-RS 2.1 spec, we could probably simplify the code (and possibly speed up the sorting logic) if we got rid of the special booleans and set ‘@Priority(Integer.MAX_VALUE)’ for all built-in providers.
