Sebb commented on VFS-438:
--------------------------
I think optional dependencies are still downloaded automatically.
Try it and see - I think optional just means Maven won't include the jar in
transitive dependencies [2]
The point is that there should be no suprises for the user.
UNLESS they explicitly agree otherwise, users should ONLY get AL-licensed
software when they download/use ASF releases.
There are probably many ways this can be achieved.
For example, we may be able to use a 'provided' or 'system' dependency.
This will require a deliberate action by the user to pre-install the jar
somewhere.
I'm sure there are other possible solutions.
