Dropwizard 2.0 Migration Guide

[babc...@umich.edu]

Hey all,

While all the features / changes slotted and a date for Dropwizard 2.0 is yet to be finalized, I've created the 1.3 to 2.0 migration guide for all potentially breaking changes:

https://github.com/dropwizard/dropwizard/wiki/Upgrade-guide-1.3.x-to-2.0.x

Feel free help out in any way or ask questions, but I figured I'd give a heads up as soon as possible to what's changing.

Thanks,

Nick.

Started uplifting one of my projects to 2.0. The only issue I ran into which wasn't documented, was the removal of guava[1] which changed the method signature on Task. Would it be helpful to generate an API differences[2] report?

Right, yeah I held off documenting guava removal as it hasn't been entirely removed from all aspects of Dropwizard (eg: it's still a core dependency), and it's up in the air if it will be completely removed (ie: someone has to put in the work to see how viable it is).

It would be interesting to see API differences! Hopefully there wouldn't be a lot of noise generated

I just migrated our dropwizard application to rc1. The major work was hibernate validator changes and junit4 depreciation (though clearly optional). I think it's worth to mention these in the migration guide.

RC1 looks pretty stable so far. Besides needing a Jetty bump due to a rather nasty bug on 9.4.16.
