-------------------------------------
I have not. Have you?
> Allow usage of non-Pack200 features without Commons Lang 3
> ----------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: COMPRESS-669
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-669
> Project: Commons Compress
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.26.0
> Reporter: Basil Crow
> Priority: Major
>
> Commons Compress 1.26.0 has sprouted a dependency on Commons Lang 3, which is
> problematic for the Jenkins project, which wishes to use Commons Compress in
> Jenkins core without exposing Commons Lang 3 to all Jenkins plugins.
> The Commons Lang 3 dependency is only used in Pack200 features, which we
> don't care about, so in [https://github.com/jenkinsci/jenkins/pull/8997] we
> have excluded the dependency. But this is merely a short-term solution,
> because this places the burden on consumers to monitor future updates to
> ensure that Commons Compress doesn't start relying on Commons Lang 3 for
> features other than Pack200.
> Some ideas for long-term solutions:
> * Find a way to do without the runtime dependency on Commons Lang 3 and turn
> the dependency back into a test-scoped dependency.
> * Make the Commons Lang 3 dependency optional as in
> [https://github.com/apache/commons-compress/pull/489] which was rejected
> without any reasoning other than "We are moving away from using Maven
> optional dependencies."
> * [https://github.com/apache/commons-compress/pull/490] proposes to
> modularize Commons Compress, which would solve this problem more generally.
