Hi guys, We tried to separate java client from zookeeper-server package but currently it is not possible without breaking changes.
I think we can still start providing a simple zookeeper java client just by creating a dummy zookeeper-client module as a Maven 'bom' (bills of material) It will be a simple pom which adds the dependency to zookeeper-server jar but it 'excludes' all third party dependencies not needed for running the client. I see these advantages : 1) applications will start to depend on something called 'client ', which is more user friendly 2) clients won't import unused dependecies, this is actually a nuisance for downstream application 3) it will be easier to change dependencies in the future (at least for the server) Regards Enrico -- -- Enrico Olivelli
