Andreas Veithen commented on AXIS2-3766:
----------------------------------------
In axis2-parent, these artifacts (for most of them at least) are not declared
as dependencies but appear in the dependencyManagement section which specifies
the versions to be used in child projects. Also, the junit dependency you
mention is only used in test scope. Most of the dependencies you mention are
declared by axis2-kernel and making them optional is not realistic. The only
way to reduce the dependencies would be to move some of the code in
axis2-kernel to separate modules. Note that there is an ongoing vote that
proposes this for the different transport implementations. Indeed, moving the
transports out of axis2-kernel would reduce the number of dependencies
considerably.

> 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:

> 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).
