JIRAs entered. Still don't have commit access though.

Hi Glen,
yes please file a JIRA so this doesn't get lost. We can then open sub-tasks
as we migrate/update dependencies.
I would also add log4j to this list, to replace it with a custom logger for
JSPWiki, something similar to the logger facade developed at the 3.0
branch, but based on SLF4J + [Logback | Log4j2]
Regarding Jetty, it was used to build custom webapps to launch the Selenium
tests, so may be it can be dismissed in favour of the it-* modules
cheers,

Hi Team,
By running mvn versions:display-dependency-**updates as well as checking
each of the dependencies in JSPWiki, I've come up with a list of potential
obsolete or outdated dependencies in JSPWiki. This is just food for
thought, if anybody would like to work on any of these, that would be
great, we can also type in JIRA tickets for each of these that seem to be a
good idea.
Just basic updates (some testing probably needed):
------------------------------**------------------------------**--------
commons-io 1.4 to 2.4
hsqldb 2.2.9 to 2.3.0 - JUnit tests fail with this update (apparently not
backwards compatible), some tweaking of the codebase needed.
lucene 3.6 to 4.3.1
jetty 7.6.7 to 9.0.4 (used during testing only, possibly good to replace
with embedded Tomcat)
Switching to new projects:
------------------------------**------
Sandler: used for Atom messages (http://sourceforge.net/**
projects/sandler/ <http://sourceforge.net/projects/sandler/> -- but
website linked to from there is dead). Last updated 2004. Switch to
Apache Abdera?
opensymphony:oscache 2.3 to 2.4.1 -- Opensymphony website is dead, replace
with ehcache (http://ehcache.org/)? Seemingly quite popular, Apache
Roller uses it...
xmlrpc:xmlrpc 2.0.1 to 3.0a1 -- AFAICT XML-RPC is dead today. Mailing list
last used almost 3 years ago: http://mail-archives.apache.**
org/mod_mbox/ws-xmlrpc-dev/<http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/ws-xmlrpc-dev/>;
replace with Apache CXF for SOAP and REST?
json-rpc: now called jabsorb
(http://code.google.com/p/**jabsorb/<http://code.google.com/p/jabsorb/>),
hasn't been updated in about 3 years. Likewise no longer needed? Just use
CXF REST w/JSON perhaps.
Stripes framework: team still wish to use this? Project certainly looks
good
(http://www.stripesframework.**org/display/stripes/Home<http://www.stripesframework.org/display/stripes/Home>),
although I prefer open source projects that accept new committers (Stripes
may be like that, but I don't see any advertisements on their web page
indicating as such) so we're not dependent on a few volunteers.
Jakarta Oro
(http://jakarta.apache.org/**oro/index.html<http://jakarta.apache.org/oro/index.html>)
in the Apache Attic, replace with Java or commons-* products?
Jakarta ecs:ecs A markup language, also in the Attic since 2010: (
http://jakarta.apache.org/**ecs/ <http://jakarta.apache.org/ecs/>),
unsure what to replace it with.
org.jvnet.hudson:org.**suigeneris.jrcs.diff - now at
http://code.google.com/p/jrcs/**, last updated 3 years 3 months ago, from
the website: "JRCS is a library that knows how to manipulate the archive
files produced by the RCS and CVS version control systems." IIRC Harry
deprecated RCS a few months back, we may not need this library at all
anymore. That it links to CVS (not Subversion or Git/GitHub) further
indicates its age.
akismet-java: used for combating spam. Hasn't been updated in 2 years but
probably still OK
(https://github.com/**czarneckid/akismet-java<https://github.com/czarneckid/akismet-java>
)
freshcookies security -- Done by Andrew Jaquith of our team (
http://mvnrepository.com/**artifact/org.freshcookies/**
freshcookies-security/0.60<http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.freshcookies/freshcookies-security/0.60>),
but the website for it is dead: http://www.freshcookies.org/ -- I don't
know when it was last updated, and haven't researched yet what this library
does. Switch to Apache Shiro?
Cheers,
Glen
