Hi folks, We have 4 JAXB extension methods which offer a very small enhancement over the built-in JAXB methods. The way these are packaged causes increased complexity in JDK9+ environments which even today doesn't seem to be handled well by IDEs such as JetBrains' IDEA. Weighing up the minimal value those methods add vs the complexities they burden us with, I am thinking of removing those methods in Groovy 4. Does anyone have objections?
The groovy-jaxb jar from Groovy 3 will likely remain compatible with Groovy 4 for those that still wish this functionality but folks would need to explicitly add that as a dependency. Feedback welcome. Cheers, Paul.
