Maven Dependency Usage

To add the dependencies in Maven you can simply add the BOM.

<dependencyManagement>
    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>dev.resteasy.vertx</groupId>
            <artifactId>resteasy-vertx-bom</artifactId>
            <version>${version.dev.resteasy.vertx}</version>
            <type>pom</type>
            <scope>import</scope>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>

Then you can use either the embedded server or client dependencies.

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>dev.resteasy.vertx</groupId>
        <artifactId>resteasy-vertx-client</artifactId>
    </dependency>

    <dependency>
        <groupId>dev.resteasy.vertx</groupId>
        <artifactId>resteasy-vertx-embedded-server</artifactId>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

Quick Start

Start an embedded server using the standard Jakarta REST SeBootstrap API:

@ApplicationPath("/api")
public class MyApplication extends Application {
    @Override
    public Set<Class<?>> getClasses() {
        return Set.of(GreetingResource.class);
    }
}

SeBootstrap.Configuration config = SeBootstrap.Configuration.builder()
    .host("localhost")
    .port(8080)
    .build();

SeBootstrap.Instance instance = SeBootstrap.start(MyApplication.class, config)
    .toCompletableFuture()
    .join();

URI uri = instance.configuration().baseUri();
// Server running at http://localhost:8080/api

Create a client:

Client client = ClientBuilder.newClient();
String result = client.target("http://localhost:8080/api/greeting")
    .request(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)
    .get(String.class);
client.close();

The Vert.x client engine is automatically discovered via ServiceLoader. Both client and server share a single managed Vertx instance via VertxManager.

Issues

Issues are kept in GitHub Issues.

Build

Currently, RESTEasy Vert.x requires JDK 25+ to compile, but compiles to Java 17 bytecode.

If you want to build the project without running the tests, you need to pull down a clone of the RESTEasy repository and run:

$ ./mvnw clean install -DskipTests

Releasing

Releasing the project requires permission to deploy to Maven Central see Maven Central Release Requirements. Once everything is setup, you simply need to run the ./release.sh script. There are two required parameters:

1. -r or --release which is the version you want to release

2. -d or --development which is the next development version.

By default the release version cannot contain SNAPSHOT and the development version, must container SNAPSHOT.

.Example Command

/release -r 1.0.0.Final -d 1.0.1.Final-SNAPSHOT

Supported Arguments

Argument	Requires Value	Description
-d, --development	Yes	The next version for the development cycle.
-f, --force	No	Forces to allow a SNAPSHOT suffix in release version and not require one for the development version.
-h, --help	N/A	Displays this help
--notes-start-tag	Unused	Passes the --notes-from-tag and the argument to the gh create release command.
-p, --prerelease	Unused	Passes the --prerelease to the gh create release command.
-r, --release	Yes	The version to be released. Also used for the tag.
--dry-run	No	Executes the release in as a dry-run. Nothing will be updated or pushed.
--no-push	No	Executes the release in, but doesn’t actually push the changes to GitHub or publish the release on Maven Central.
-v, --verbose	No	Prints verbose output.

Any additional arguments are considered arguments for the Maven command.
