Java EE essential

[otaviojava]

The proposal is create a new project, Java EE essential, that has goal to have support to Java EE 7. This include:

• JSF: Conversor to CurrencyUnit, MonetaryAmount, using each implementation and using MonetaryAmountFormat.
• JPA: Conversor to persist on database using: just Currency, just Number, both option using toString and parse defult, or each on with a specific column, one to currency and another one to Number.
• JAX-RS: Parser to read and write to Currency and MonetaryAmount
• CDI: producer to monetaryAmount, qualifier to all implementation and default
• JSON: Parser and Binding
• Bean Validation: Special Validators or Min/Max constraints for monetary amounts, etc.

Please ensure, the POMs follow the parent:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.javamoney.shelter</groupId>
  <artifactId>javamoney-${module}<artifactId>
  <versionId>the current version</version>
</dependency>

See https://github.com/JavaMoney/javamoney-shelter/tree/master/digital-currency or https://github.com/JavaMoney/javamoney-shelter/tree/master/groovylang-support ${module} could be anything like "jsf", "jpa", etc. as long as they don't overlap other modules in shelter. If all of them fall under Java EE please group them accordingly, something like java-ee or java-ee-support with child modules like jpa or similar.

There are other likely candidates for EE features:

• JSON: Parser and Binding if the JSR for it gets ready, in the meantime Jackson or others could do, see https://github.com/unitsofmeasurement/jackson-module-unitsofmeasure
• Bean Validation: Special Validators or Min/Max constraints for monetary amounts, etc.
