> Key: AXIS2-3866
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-3866
> Project: Axis 2.0 (Axis2)
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: samples, build,site
> Affects Versions: 1.4
> Environment: Axis2 1.4
> Reporter: Detelin Yordanov
> Priority: Minor

> Hi guys,
> We are building an API on top of Axis2 .1.4 and we are getting these
> annoying ant and ant-launcher jars in our distribution.
> Although it is not a problem for us to exclude them manually when building
> our assembly (as it is done in the Axis2 distribution), we think that
> excluding artifacts at this point is not a good idea since they might be used
> by some other artifacts we do not know about.
> In general this should be done using Maven dependency scope attribute.
> I examined the Axis2 modules and found out that ant and ant-launcher
> dependency definitions can be fixed as follows:
> 1. java2wsdl module - requires Ant but can set its dependency scope to
> "provided" to let the end users provide it
> 2. jibx - only its junit tests depend upon Ant, so the dependency scope can
> be set to "test"
> 3. xmlbeans - the same as above, scope can be set to "test"
> 4. jws-api - defines dependency to Ant but does not seem to actually require
> it (builds without it, so it can be removed)
> 5. a few Ant tasks in the tools folder also use Ant, but again scope can be
> set to "provided"
> Additionally the Woden library brings up Ant and Ant-launcher dependencies,
> but they are required only for the Woden Ant task, so
> it can be excluded from the Woden dependency definitions.
> In effect, the manual exclusion of ant in the Axis2 binary distribution won't
> be required anymore.
