Paul Newport commented on CXF-7237: ----------------------------------- I don't think there is any pressing need to change the dependency to Spring Boot 1.5. 1.4 should be enough as the only changed needed was a class moving package. Spring Boot 1.4 will be supported for years. Right now we need a release that supports both 1.4 and 1.5, so depending on 1.4 should be fine and as Alexander said, a quick point release would allow people to upgrade to Spring Boot 1.5, which is currently blocked by this issue. > Upgrade to SpringBoot 1.5.x > --------------------------- > > Key: CXF-7237 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-7237 > Project: CXF > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Integration > Reporter: Sergey Beryozkin > Fix For: 3.2.0 > > > Right now CXF SpringBoot starters depend on SpringBoot 1.4.x and they have > also been updated to make sure they can be run with SpringBoot 1.5.x. > The question is if we should upgrade CXF starters to depend on 1.5.x, i.e, do > we still care if SpringBoot 1.4.x can run CXF starters ? Even if we upgrade > to 1.5.x they can still probably run with 1.4.x given that as far as API > which CXF depends upon has not changed, but it would be worth confirming. > At the moment it appears that we should upgrade to 1.5.x if one of the > following happens: > - 1.5.x users report some other issues blocking them from using CXF starters > currently depending on 1.4.x > - CXF starters gets enhanced to use 1.5.x features > - 1.4.x becomes a legacy SpringBoot branch -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
