David Smiley reopened SOLR-2852:
--------------------------------
I think the time for this has come. What's changed is increased usage of
Solr's "javabin" format -- it's the default, not XML. Lets reduce the
dependencies users _think_ they need (they don't *actually* need Woodstox but
they don't even know that).
> SolrJ doesn't need woodstox jar
> -------------------------------

> Key: SOLR-2852
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-2852
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: clients - java
> Reporter: David Smiley
> Priority: Trivial
>
> The /dist/solrj-lib/ directory contains wstx-asl-3.2.7.jar (Woodstox StAX
> API). SolrJ doesn't actually have any type of dependency on this library.
> The maven build doesn't have it as a dependency and the tests pass. Perhaps
> Woodstox is faster than the JDK's StAX, I don't know, but I find that point
> quite moot since SolrJ can use the efficient binary format. Woodstox is not
> a small library either, weighting in at 524KB, and of course if someone
> actually wants to use it, they can.
> I propose woodstox be removed as a SolrJ dependency. I am *not* proposing it
> be removed as a Solr WAR dependency since it is actually required there due
> to an obscure XSLT issue.
