Missing module-info.java leading to nasty warnings from compiler plugin

[lprimak]

The module info file is missing from Faces API Jar, leading to issues with modularized applications:

[WARN] *****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
[WARN] * Required filename-based automodules detected: [jakarta.faces-api-4.0.1.jar]. Please don't publish this project to a public artifact repository! *
[WARN] *****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

Thanks for reporting. This is a bug, and the module-info should have been there.

Hey Arjan, can this be fixed before Jakarta EE 11 please? Thank you!

[lprimak]

As of jakarta.faces-api-4.1.0-M1.jar this issue is not fixed yet...

[arjantijms]

Thanks for the reminder! This should absolutely be fixed for the upcoming (few days at most) M2 release.

@lprimak If you want, please look at #1903

Would be great if you test it with your code.

[lprimak]

I’ll try

Is there a pre-build JAR I can use?

[arjantijms]

Is there a pre-build JAR I can use?

Nope, the faces repo doesn't have builds for PRs enabled. Best would be to just build it yourself for now.

I cannot build due to missing API dependencies, that are not in the Eclipse SNAPSHOT repository either.
Any help appreciated, as there are way too many APIs to build on my own (basically all of core + web APIs) :)

I was also facing that annoying problem. All I did was to just locally revert the API versions in pom.xml to the ones actually available in central.

[arjantijms]

Did you try building with -Pstaging?

All the dependencies should be in staging.

[lprimak]

ah! I tried with snapshot. I will try with staging

[lprimak]

It works. Requires changing requires from jarkarta.faces.api to jakarta.faces and it works correctly. Both compilers, deploys and runs! No warnings.

Thank you!
