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

/**
 * Indicates the run-time context in which an annotated provider
 * is applicable. If a {@code @ConstrainedTo} annotation is not
 * present on a provider type declaration, the declared provider
 * may be used in any run-time context. If such a annotation is present,
 * the runtime will enforce the specified usage restriction.
 * 
 * The following example illustrates restricting a {@link javax.ws.rs.ext.MessageBodyReader}
 * provider implementation to run only as part of a {@link RuntimeType#CLIENT Client run-time}:
 * 
 *  *  @ConstrainedTo(RuntimeType.CLIENT)
 *  public class MyReader implements MessageBodyReader {
 *      ...
 *  }
 * 
 * 
 * The following example illustrates restricting a {@link javax.ws.rs.ext.WriterInterceptor}
 * provider implementation to run only as part of a {@link RuntimeType#SERVER Server run-time}:
 * 
 *  *  @ConstrainedTo(RuntimeType.SERVER)
 *  public class MyWriterInterceptor implements WriterInterceptor {
 *      ...
 *  }
 * 
 * 
 * It is a configuration error to constraint a provider implementation to
 * a run-time context in which the provider cannot be applied. In such case, the
 * runtime SHOULD inform a user about the issue and ignore the provider implementation in further
 * processing.
 * 
 * 
 * For example, the following restriction of a {@link javax.ws.rs.client.ClientRequestFilter}
 * to run only as part of the server run-time would be considered invalid:
 * 
 *  *  // reported as invalid and ignored by the runtime
 *  @ConstrainedTo(RuntimeType.SERVER)
 *  public class MyFilter implements ClientRequestFilter {
 *      ...
 *  }
