jakarta ee - Tika-Parsers deployment issue on Wildfly

Question

As part of a web application i need to parse textual content of different incoming files. This should be quite simple using tika-parsers, but as soon as i try to deploy my webapp on Wildfly (tested V.8.2.1 and V.10.0.0.RC4) i run into problems.

This is my maven dependency in a very basic webapp:

<groupId>org.apache.tika</groupId>
<artifactId>tika-parsers</artifactId>
<version>1.11</version>

This is the error i get during deployment (manual deployment or using arquillian for testing):

Caused by: java.lang.Exception: {"WFLYCTL0080: Failed services" => {"jboss.deployment.unit."backend-test.war".WeldStartService" => "org.jboss.msc.service.StartException in service jboss.deployment.unit."backend-test.war".WeldStartService: Failed to start service
    Caused by: org.jboss.weld.exceptions.DefinitionException: WELD-000071: Managed bean with a parameterized bean class must be @Dependent: class org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.provider.SourceProvider"}}

I assume there is a dependency conflict, but have no clue on how to avoid it. beans.xml? jboss-deployment-structure.xml? Disable any wildfly modules?

If anybody is still looking for this, you can just add this lines to your pom.xml:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.tika</groupId>
    <artifactId>tika-parsers</artifactId>
    <version>1.13</version>
    <exclusions>
        <exclusion>
            <groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId>
            <artifactId>*</artifactId>
        </exclusion>
    </exclusions>
</dependency>
