Stephen Mallette commented on TINKERPOP-2460:
---------------------------------------------
I realized that we really meant that the dependency should be "optional" and
not "provided scope". By optional, we mean that it will not show as a
transitive dependency to gremlin-driver and is only necessary for users who
intend to do {{JsonBuilder}} serialization in which case they need to include
the various groovy dependencies as described in the upgrade documentation.

> Change groovy to provided scope in gremlin-driver
> -------------------------------------------------

> Key: TINKERPOP-2460
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TINKERPOP-2460
> Project: TinkerPop
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: driver
> Affects Versions: 3.5.0
> Reporter: Stephen Mallette
> Assignee: Stephen Mallette
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: breaking
> Fix For: 3.5.0
>
>
> The only reason we have a groovy in {{gremlin-driver}} is to support
> {{JsonBuilder}} serialization which (1) I tend to doubt is even used and (2)
> isn't a defined type for any other serialization format besides GraphSON.
> While it would be nice to simply remove it completely, I think it would be
> better to give it {{provided}} scope and force users who depend on it
> currently to directly depend on groovy for it.
