Cleanup of Maven dependencies

[Asankha C. Perera]

Hi All

Can someone from the Rampart team review every dependency marked in your 
pom.xml files for the various components, and make sure that you inherit 
whats defined by Axis2 etc, and not define any other unwanted 
dependencies - unless they are required at runtime - so that the users 
of Rampart will not inherit a load of wrong dependencies, that must be 
manually excluded :-)

Some of the candidates for this list from the last Rampart release are:
                   <exclusion>
                       <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
                       <artifactId>jcl-over-slf4j</artifactId>
                   </exclusion>
                   <exclusion>
                       <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
                       <artifactId>log4j-over-slf4j</artifactId>
                   </exclusion>
                   <exclusion>
                       <groupId>org.apache.woden</groupId>
                       <artifactId>woden-api</artifactId>
                   </exclusion>
                   <exclusion>
                       <groupId>org.apache.xmlbeans</groupId>
                       <artifactId>xmlbeans</artifactId>
                   </exclusion>

In addition, I am now inheriting a very old version (4.0-beta1) of 
HttpComponents from:
       <dependency>
           <groupId>org.apache.httpcomponents</groupId>
           <artifactId>httpcore</artifactId>
           <version>${jakarta.httpcore.version}</version>
       </dependency>

I do not think Rampart should depend on HttpComponents at all, but 
either way Axis2 makes it one of its dependencies, so best is to inherit 
such the dependencies from Axis2 alone.

thanks
