A bundle project producing JAX-RS RI bundles. The primary artifact is an "all-in-one" OSGi-fied JAX-RS RI bundle (jaxrs-ri.jar). Attached to that are two compressed JAX-RS RI archives. The first archive (jaxrs-ri.zip) consists of binary RI bits and contains the API jar (under "api" directory), RI libraries (under "lib" directory) as well as all external RI dependencies (under "ext" directory). The secondary archive (jaxrs-ri-src.zip) contains buildable JAX-RS RI source bundle and contains the API jar (under "api" directory), RI sources (under "src" directory) as well as all external RI dependencies (under "ext" directory). The second archive also contains "build.xml" ANT script that builds the RI sources. To build the JAX-RS RI simply unzip the archive, cd to the created jaxrs-ri directory and invoke "ant" from the command line.

There is a newer version: 3.1.8
