Maven POM has many dependencies that could well be declared optional
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: AXIS2-3766
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-3766
Project: Axis 2.0 (Axis2)
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 1.3
Reporter: Alex Savitsky
Priority: Minor
Many of the dependencies declared in axis2-parent (these apply to all child
POMs, including kernel and, in my case, adb) are not required by the main Axis
runtime, only being used for certain optional features, or are even
questionable to include in the runtime at all (e.g., junit). For example,
here's how my axis POM dependency looks like for a simple RPC client code:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.axis2</groupId>
<artifactId>axis2-adb</artifactId>
<version>1.3</version>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.apache.httpcomponents</groupId>
<artifactId>httpcore</artifactId>
</exclusion>
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.apache.httpcomponents</groupId>
<artifactId>httpcore-nio</artifactId>
</exclusion>
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.apache.httpcomponents</groupId>
<artifactId>httpcore-niossl</artifactId>
</exclusion>
<exclusion>
<groupId>backport-util-concurrent</groupId>
<artifactId>backport-util-concurrent</artifactId>
</exclusion>
<exclusion>

<artifactId>geronimo-jms_1.1_spec</artifactId>
</exclusion>
<exclusion>

<artifactId>axiom-dom</artifactId>
</exclusion>
<exclusion>

</exclusion>
<exclusion>

<artifactId>commons-io</artifactId>
</exclusion>
<exclusion>
<groupId>jaxen</groupId>
<artifactId>jaxen</artifactId>
</exclusion>
<exclusion>
<groupId>junit</groupId>
<artifactId>junit</artifactId>
</exclusion>
<exclusion>
<groupId>commons-fileupload</groupId>
<artifactId>commons-fileupload</artifactId>
</exclusion>
<exclusion>
<groupId>xml-apis</groupId>
<artifactId>xml-apis</artifactId>
</exclusion>
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.apache.geronimo.specs</groupId>
<artifactId>geronimo-activation_1.1_spec</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
That's 16 (!) exclusions. Server code doesn't fare any better, with 14
exclusions (minus neethi and fileupload). Something needs to be done about this
(maybe move some of these from axis2-parent down to individual POMs).
