hmm actually we need to decide about the following:
* In order to simplify writing pom.xml for modules having components (i.e. depending on
xwiki-commons-component-api) I had added the following to
xwiki-commons-component-api/pom.xml:
<!-- Make it easy for components that wish to log - They don't have to
explicitly import SLF4J -->
<dependency>
<groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
<artifactId>slf4j-api</artifactId>
</dependency>
* In the same manner we have a dependency on javax.inject in
xwiki-commons-component-api/pom.xml:
<!-- We add this dependency here so that users of the Component API just need to
depend on this artifact and
don't have to explicitly add a dependency on javax.inject:java.inject.
-->
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.inject</groupId>
<artifactId>javax.inject</artifactId>
<version>1</version>
</dependency>
So the question is: do we want to force each module depending on
xwiki-commons-component-api to have to declare an explicit dep on javax.inject and
org.slf4j?
I'm not so sure about that…
WDYT?
Thanks

Hi devs,
Running mvn dependency:dependency-analyze produces interesting results.
For example:
[INFO]

[INFO] Building XWiki Commons - Properties 3.2-SNAPSHOT
[INFO]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
…
[INFO] --- maven-dependency-plugin:2.3:analyze (default-cli) @ xwiki-commons-properties

The question is (for this module but more generally for all others):
* Should we add slf4j and javax.inject reps in the pom.xml for this module? (for ex today
slf4j and javax.inject are found in the component-api dep)
I think we should, wdyt?
+1 as well. Note that the
"Unused declared dependencies found:" doesn't always generate correct
results as is the case here. This is mostly because it's a static byte code check so
any dep used at runtime will be considered unused.
See
http://www.sonatype.com/books/mvnex-book/reference/optimizing-sect-dependen…
Some of these dependencies are not used directly by us, but are needed
transitively by another library. For example, slf4j needs logback, which
we never use directly (although we don't really declare it in every
module that does logging). Hibernate needs us to pick a cache, a
connection pool, validator, and a bytecode manipulation utility. So yes,
we can safely ignore most of these false negatives, but we should still
try to remove those that are really wrongfully declared as dependencies.
