j) interceptor model (client and server side used extensively by our users)
k) Link header support (rfc 5988)
l) improved/finer-grain message body reader/writer matching algorithm.
Specifically sorting based on template parameter as well as what we
already sort on.
m) An exception hierarchy (client and server side) that is
ExceptionMapper friendly
IMO, we really need a), l), and m) as users are most effected by these
in my experience. Anything else is a bonus.
I'm a bit worried about c) as I think JAXB needs a rev to better support
any hypemedia processing features that we want to add (i.e. pluggable
annotation processing/callbacks as well as a JSON mapping).
