Alex Savitsky commented on AXIS2-3766:
--------------------------------------
Now, I'm not up for a legal debate (though I wonder why Sun's license wouldn't
do), but I can assure you that any corporate environment would prefer to use
Sun's own API rather than Geronimo's, as Sun is considered a "more trusted"
source in general (in corporate IT, at least), and any API JARs not comping
from Sun itself would be viewed with a great degree of suspicion. So if Axis2
is aiming for any kind of corporate use (I'm sure it does), it might as well
consider the needs of corporate developers. As it stands right now, anything
bearing the name "geronimo" is generally considered to be a part of Geronimo
codebase, and the question "why using Geronimo-provided javax API and not Sun's
own" would probably be the first that any good architect would ask.

> 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).
