RESTEasy 6.2.14.Final and 7.0.0.Final Releases
By James R. Perkins | September 28, 2025
Today we are excited to announce the release of RESTEasy 6.2.14.Final and RESTEasy 7.0.0.Final. RESTEasy 7.0.0.Final has been a long time coming and likely could have been final a while ago. However, we had some housekeeping we wanted to get done first.
The release of 7.0.0.Final is a major milestone. It finalizes our effort to streamline the core framework and move key integrations into their own separate projects. This allows them to be versioned and released independently, giving users more flexibility.
Major Changes
With RESTEasy 7.0, the Vert.x, Netty, and Jetty integrations have been moved from the core repository into their own projects. The old artifacts are now deprecated in 6.2.14.Final and have been removed completely in 7.0.0.Final.
We strongly recommend all users migrate to the new group and artifact IDs (GAVs), as all future development and fixes will happen in these new repositories.
The following table maps the old GAVs to the new ones:
| Old/Removed GA | New GAV |

The package for the Netty Reactor Client changed. This had to be done as it used the same package as the RESTEasy Client and causes a package split between the two artifacts. |
7.0.0.Final
RESTEasy 7.0.0.Final is a Jakarta REST 4.0 implementation. For the users of the Jakarta RESTful Web Services implementation, this is mostly bug fixes from the previous version of 7.0.0.Beta1.
