Helidon 2.5.0 Release

We are happy to announce that Helidon 2.5.0 is released! This release contains enhancements and fixes.

Here are some highlights:

Improved OCI Java SDK Support

For Helidon MP applications you can now inject any Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Java SDK client into your application. This will pick up OCI client configuration from your environment — so if your environment works for the OCI SDK CLI, then it will work for your Helidon app. For more information see the Helidon OCI Object Storage example and the OciExtension javadocs.

@Path Annotation Inheritance

We’ve improved our JAX-RS implementation to support @Path annotations on base classes and interfaces. This improves interoperability with code generators that use this approach for creating JAX-RS applications.

Bug fixes and dependency upgrades

See the 2.5.0 release page for a list of fixes and dependency upgrades.

Compatibility

2.5.0 is compatible with 2.4, but we made a couple deprecations. See
the 2.5.0 release page for more information.
