FYI, onyl loosely related but as part of fixing the CDI TCK memory gobbling with CXF 3.3.0, I've added quite a few to the default.exclusions for scanning.
I also noticed the lib we have is woodstox-core-5.x.x.jar but in default.exclusions we have woodstox-core-asl-x.x.x.jar. This may avoid your woodstox scanning issue below (but not avoid why it cannot be scanned - does it need to be?) So I altered that one and some other things. All passes on JDK 8 succeeded. So if you want to try with my new default.exclusions file, let me know I will add a PR for you to pull. I've added some extra unneeded MP libs too. Hope this helps you :) -- Sent from: http://tomee-openejb.979440.n4.nabble.com/TomEE-Dev-f982480.html
