https://github.com/geotools/geotools/pull/1986 is a proposal to remove
xmlunit (and junit) as dependencies we ship in geotools.
The reason why we were providing that is partly because some of the
dependency definitions were not test scoped, and partly because we actually
do depend on it, for one class - org.geotools.xml.test.XMLTestSupport
(http://docs.geotools.org/latest/javadocs/org/geotools/xml/test/XMLTestSuppo
rt.html)
I propose (see PR) to remove XMLTestSupport from the GeoTools XML API and
provide it only as a test-jar. That has impact on at least GeoServer, and
Ben Caradoc Davies has developed a corresponding PR.
That is an API/ABI break, and backport is not intended. Given the nature of
the changes in 20.0, I don't think this is a particularly onerous change if
anyone else is using that class.
I request approval for this change.
