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: 3.1.9

/**
 * A collection of built-in priority constants for the components that are supposed to be
 * ordered based on their {@code javax.annotation.Priority} class-level annotation value when used
 * or applied by the runtime.
 * 
 * For example, filters and interceptors are grouped in chains for each of the message
 * processing extension points: Pre, PreMatch, Post as well as ReadFrom and WriteTo.
 * Each of these chains is sorted based on priorities which are represented as integer numbers.
 * All chains, except Post, are sorted in ascending order; the lower the number the higher the priority.
 * The Post filter chain is sorted in descending order to ensure that response filters are executed in
 * reverse order.
 * 
 * 
 * Components that belong to the same priority class (same integer value) are executed in an
 * implementation-defined manner. By default, when the {@code @Priority} annotation is absent on a component,
 * for which a priority should be applied, the {@link Priorities#USER} priority value is used.
