----------------------------------------
Summary: Investigate creation of lightweight artifact
Key: SYSTEMML-1743
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SYSTEMML-1743
Project: SystemML
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Build
Reporter: Deron Eriksson
Assignee: Deron Eriksson
SystemML currently has a large number of required dependencies. For certain
tasks such as running algorithms using JMLC, only a subset of these
dependencies are actually needed. Therefore, it should be possible to
selectively build a lightweight artifact that holds only the "required"
classes.
Determination of the required classes can potentially be done by querying the
classloader for the classes that have been loaded after executing the
operations that should be supported by the lightweight artifact. In addition,
other techniques such as looking at the imports of the project's java files can
be used to determine additional required classes.
This information can be fed to a maven assembly to build a lightweight jar file.
