Thank you for your pull request! After a quick sanity check one of the team will reply with 'OK TO TEST' to kick off our automated validation on Jenkins. This compiles the project, runs the tests, and checks for things like binary compatibility and source code formatting. When two team members have also manually reviewed and (perhaps after asking for some amendments) accepted your contribution, it should be good to be merged.

For more details about our contributing process, check out CONTRIBUTING.md - and feel free to ask!

OK TO TEST

Test FAILed.

Is there a way to run mimaReportBinaryIssues locally for a specific scala version?

Test FAILed.

Does sbt ++2.12.6 mimaReportBinaryIssues do the trick?

Is the current binary incompatibility failure on 2.11 OK? If not, why isn't it present on 2.12, and what's the right way to fix?

Test FAILed.

@kag0 We recommend people to import the directives with akka.http.scaladsl.server.Directives._ (scala) or import static akka.http.javadsl.server.Directives.*; (java).

The Scala Directives mixes in all actual directive implementations as traits like you already found.

Java unfortunately does not have multiple inheritance like this, so instead we create a 'chain' of implementations all extending each other. To add your directives to the 'bottom of the chain' like in Scala, extend your new API's at https://github.com/akka/akka-http/blob/master/akka-http/src/main/scala/akka/http/javadsl/server/Directives.scala#L14, and have them extend the FramedEntityStreamingDirectives to connect to the rest of the chain.

Does that make sense?

(travis still catches a compile error when compiling with 2.11, btw https://travis-ci.org/akka/akka-http/builds/478845890#L639)

That makes sense, took care of the 2.11 issue as well.

Closing due to inactivity - feel free to reopen when work on this continues!

Looking back through here and it seems there's a lot of interest and even some SWIM using it in production. I should get back on the horse and get this merged.

Where did we leave off? Seems like things should be compiling on 2.11, we have the java api, we might feel OK ignoring the MiMa error. Anything I'm missing?
