Olivier Cailloux edited comment on ODFTOOLKIT-464 at 9/19/17 9:08 AM: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- About tools.jar, I believe that the dependency from odfdom-java to taglets, as indicated in the [pom|https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/odftoolkit/odfdom-java/0.8.11-incubating/odfdom-java-0.8.11-incubating.pom], should be simply removed. That is because the dependency to taglets is there twice, the second time being correctly restricted to the maven-javadoc-plugin, using the tagletArtifact configuration as documented [here|https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-javadoc-plugin/javadoc-mojo.html]. In concrete terms, I suggest to modify the [pom|https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/odftoolkit/odfdom-java/0.8.11-incubating/odfdom-java-0.8.11-incubating.pom] and remove the following lines. {quote} <dependency> <groupId>$\{project.groupId}</groupId> <artifactId>taglets</artifactId> <version>$\{project.version}</version> </dependency> {quote} was (Author: oliviercailloux): About tools.jar, I believe that the dependency from odfdom-java to taglets, as indicated in the [pom|https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/odftoolkit/odfdom-java/0.8.11-incubating/odfdom-java-0.8.11-incubating.pom], should be simply removed.
