Andriy Redko updated CXF-8791:
------------------------------
Description:
For Apache CXF, the Spring / Spring Boot dependencies are optional at runtime
however they are still being brought up transitively. For upcoming 4.0.0
release this is a problem: we would like to stay on JDK-11 as a minimum
required baseline but Spring 6 / Spring Boot 3 set the JDK baseline to JDK-17.
Because of such misalignment, using Apache CXF with JDK-11 runtime fails with
"java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError" error, caused by the presence of the
Spring 6 / Spring Boot 3 JARs in the classpath.
The Spring / Spring Boot dependencies should be set as optional and when used
with Spring 6 / Spring Boot 3, the JDK requirements have to be documented.
