anyone strongly object to me making the dependency on the servlet api
optional (by altering the build script)?
There are both advantages and disadvantages to each approach.
Making parts of the build optional makes it easier for newcomers to build
your system. On the other hand, the outcome of the build process becomes
less deterministic.
Requiring all dependencies to be present before building ensures that the
outcome of the build process is complete. However, it makes it harder for
newcomers to build your system, even when a partial build could have met
the newcomer's needs.
