SolrJ doesn't need woodstox jar
-------------------------------
Key: SOLR-2852
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-2852
Project: Solr
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: clients - java
Reporter: David Smiley
Priority: Trivial
The /dist/solrj-lib/ directory contains wstx-asl-3.2.7.jar (Woodstox StAX API).
SolrJ doesn't actually have any type of dependency on this library. The maven
build doesn't have it as a dependency and the tests pass. Perhaps Woodstox is
faster than the JDK's StAX, I don't know, but I find that point quite moot
since SolrJ can use the efficient binary format. Woodstox is not a small
library either, weighting in at 524KB, and of course if someone actually wants
to use it, they can.
I propose woodstox be removed as a SolrJ dependency. I am *not* proposing it
be removed as a Solr WAR dependency since it is actually required there due to
an obscure XSLT issue.
