I have needed them to use the StrutsTestCase as a parent class and not that it was so bad, but my application doesn't have any dependencies on Spring and I had to go add them to unit test my application. It seems rather silly to pull in dependencies for a class or two. I would assume we could just grab the code we need from Spring and repackage it into Struts2 core and break that dependency completely. Then we wouldn't have to worry about it at all.

Of the S2 apps I've written I've never used spring and not needed to copy any spring- jars into the webapp.

I'm more in favor of removing any dependencies to Spring within struts2-core altogether. All dependencies on Spring should be moved to the Spring plugin.

I've posted a patch in JIRA to update the dependency.

I think maven based deps are the best way to handle this, and we could try to convince the maven guys into doing some kind of "sping-xxx-2.0" repository link which pointed to the latest 2.0.x release :)

Are we going to bump the spring dependencies to 2.0.8 (or possibly go for the 2.5 series) for S2.1?

P.S. (yup, still working on the test problem, just wondering if it's a problem in spring-mock).

I got bit by this dependency today and I'm wondering if it makes sense to find the exact deps and just copy them into the core codebase to remove any dependencies on Spring. I can do this today or tomorrow if that sounds good to everyone.
