SpringComponentProvider in jersey-spring6 never binds components

[wilkinsona]

It would appear that the jersey-spring6 artifact on Maven Central contains the result of compiling https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/jersey/blob/3.x/ext/spring6/src/main/javaPre17/org/glassfish/jersey/server/spring/SpringComponentProvider.java rather than https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/jersey/blob/3.x/ext/spring6/src/main/java17/org/glassfish/jersey/server/spring/SpringComponentProvider.java. I believe it needs to contain the result of compiling the latter to work correctly.

Looking at the bytecode using javap confirms that bind is hardcoded to return false:

javap -v -cp /Users/awilkinson/.gradle/caches/modules-2/files-2.1/org.glassfish.jersey.ext/jersey-spring6/3.0.5/a3152fed45ab33faa41f9f6e3ed5edc238b4623e/jersey-spring6-3.0.5.jar org.glassfish.jersey.server.spring.SpringComponentProvider

thank you for reporting that. You are right. This shall be added to the multi-release jar. It requires modification of the release script.

Release script is modified (for Jakarta Jersey 9 and 10) and will be available since the next release (3.0.6 and 3.1.0 respectively)
