update javax json from 1.0.2 to 1.1

Question

I'm developing a project that uses Tomcat7 and uses javax.json. Until now everything worked, but now I updated the javax.json from 1.0.2 to 1.1 and when I start the tomcat gives me the following error:

What I can do now?

Thank you

Answer 1

Thanks tigger, for pointing that out. This was causing an Exception for me in Wildfly-10.1.0.Final when I deployed: "Could not index class module-info.class"

I didn't want to go back versions, so I "fixed" the jar:

Move the jar to its own directory

cd that directory

explode the javax.json-1.1.jar file:

jar xvf javax.json-1.1.jar

deleting module-info.class

rm module-info.class

Get rid of the jar itself

rm javax.json-1.1.jar

Put everything back in the jar:

jar cvf javax.json-jdk8-1.1.jar .

Move the jar back to where you need it to build from.

note: since I added "jdk8" to the name of the jar to distinguish it from the maven repo version, I also had to update my build paths everywhere that uses it.

Rebuild, re-deploy, voila! No more Wildfly errors! :)
