This artifact provides a single jar that contains all classes required to use remote Jakarta Enterprise Beans and Jakarta Messaging, including all dependencies. It is intended for use by those not using maven, maven users should just import the Jakarta Enterprise Beans and Jakarta Messaging BOM's instead (shaded JAR's cause lots of problems with maven, as it is very easy to inadvertently end up with different versions on classes on the class path).

There is a newer version: 35.0.0.Beta1

/**
 * Marker interface used by value classes like {@link JsonFormat.Value} that are used
 * to contain information from one of Jackson annotations, and can be directly
 * instantiated from those annotations, as well as programmatically constructed
 * and possibly merged. The reason for such marker is to allow generic handling of
 * some of the annotations, as well as to allow easier injection of configuration
 * from sources other than annotations.
