Quarkus 1.12 released - Fast jar as default, Multipart support for RESTEasy Reactive
It is my pleasure to announce the release of Quarkus 1.12.0.Final.
It comes with some significant changes:
-
Fast jar is now the default packaging when you build a jar.
-
RESTEasy Reactive keeps improving and it now has support for multipart.
-
Vert.x Axle and RX Java managed instances have been dropped.
-
We upgraded to GraalVM 21.0.
Migration Guide
Eager to migrate your existing applications? Here is our migration guide for 1.12.
What’s new?
Fast jar as default
Quarkus has always offered several types of jar packaging.
Historically, we had either a standard jar packaging (the one with the -runner.jar and the lib/ directory) or an uber jar.
In Quarkus 1.5, we introduced a new packaging type called Fast jar, which main objective was to further improve our boot time.
In Quarkus time, 1.5 means a century ago and we think Fast jar is now ready for prime time and brings enough improvements to justify the change. Thus the decision to make it the default starting with 1.12.
This change will have consequences on your workflow as the produced artifacts are now under a quarkus-app directory.
So instead of starting your application with:
java -jar target/my-application-runner-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jarYou will now start it with:
java -jar target/quarkus-app/quarkus-run.jarWhen deploying your application, you need to deploy the whole quarkus-app directory.
Your Dockerfiles will also need to be adjusted to take this into account.
You can find more details in our Migration guide.

If it’s not the right time for you to change your workflow, you can easily go back to the previous packaging by adding the following property to your |
RESTEasy Reactive
We continue improving RESTEasy Reactive at a steady pace, and this time, we introduced Multipart support.
It is very similar to the Multipart support of RESTEasy and looks like:
import java.util.Map;
import javax.ws.rs.core.MediaType;
import org.jboss.resteasy.reactive.PartType;
import org.jboss.resteasy.reactive.RestForm;
import org.jboss.resteasy.reactive.multipart.FileUpload;
public class FormData {
@RestForm
@PartType(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)
public String description;
@RestForm("image")
public FileUpload file;
}You can find more information about it in the updated RESTEasy Reactive guide.
Vert.x Axle and RX Java managed instances gone
They had been deprecated for quite a while, they are now gone.
Either use the raw Vert.x instance of the Mutiny one.
