The Struts 2/Tiles 2 plugin does not depend on tiles-jsp, so I suppose that
it isn't there...
BTW, I noticed that you removed the backport-utils and
retrotranslator-runtime dependencies: are they still there in backport
assemblies? (Sorry for the question but at the moment I cannot test myself).

Ok sorry for not understanding...

I don't like the approach. I think it is best to create assemblies on your
local machine by removing all the unneeded dependencies to clean up the pom
and the assembly descriptors, until the assemblies are exactly the same as
they were before your intervention.
After that, we could discuss the removal of dependencies and jars from the
distributions.

Thanks
