Andras Salamon commented on OOZIE-3465:
---------------------------------------
[~matijhs] I think we can only remove the direct references. Of course it's
possible that we still have commons-codec as transitive dependency.
* I think you missed a few places where we use this library like
[LiteWorkflowAppParser.java|https://github.com/apache/oozie/blob/master/core/src/main/java/org/apache/oozie/workflow/lite/LiteWorkflowAppParser.java]
, could you please check it.
* What version of commons-codec jars will be used after your patch? I think we
should be consistent and use the same version everywhere.

> Ooize uses {{commons-codec}} 1.4 which is almost [10
> years|https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-codec/changes-report.html]
> old. We hardly use this library I've only found a few references to the
> {{Base64}} class in Oozie. Java8 defines a
> [Base64|https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/Base64.html]
> class which we could use instead.
> We should be careful to put this jar into the sharelibs if and only if some
> other library requires it.
