optional dependencies got pull into my web app?

[Dan Tran]

Hello,  my webapp depends on commons-logging-1.1 which has a punch of
optional jars and they are pull into my WEB-INF/lib directory
is it a expected behavior, the optional depdendency seems to disagree with
that


here is a pom to produce a the issue, makesure to create a empty
src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml file before run mvn package


<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"; xmlns:xsi="
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:schemaLocation="

 <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
