Do we really need all this? That's a good question. My goal in moving us away from the Jersey code that was doing this was to move us away from Sun licensed code, and on to Apache CXF, which I knew from OODT provided JAX-RS support. Also I wanted to consume the vetted Apache CXF code which I figured would be a ton safer license wise than Jersey. Sergey Beryozkin (who I'm CC'ing on this email since I'm not sure he's subscribed to dev@) helped by providing guidance on the CXF side while I was working on this with Max. If you scope out [1], Max brought up the large # of dependencies too and Sergey's response was that in 2.6 there are only a few required dependencies: ************* [INFO] +- org.apache.cxf:cxf-api:jar:2.6.0-SNAPSHOT:compile [INFO] | +- org.codehaus.woodstox:woodstox-core-asl:jar:4.1.2:runtime [INFO] | | - org.codehaus.woodstox:stax2-api:jar:3.1.1:runtime [INFO] | +- org.apache.ws.xmlschema:xmlschema-core:jar:2.0.1:compile [INFO] | +- org.apache.geronimo.specs:geronimo-javamail_1.4_spec:jar:1.7.1:compile [INFO] | - wsdl4j:wsdl4j:jar:1.6.2:compile [INFO] +- org.apache.cxf:cxf-rt-core:jar:2.6.0-SNAPSHOT:compile [INFO] | - com.sun.xml.bind:jaxb-impl:jar:2.1.13:compile ************** Maybe we should try upgrading to 2.6 if it's out? > If > yes, who's going to review the licensing of all these dependencies and > come up with appropriate LICENSE/NOTICE files to include in the > tika-server jar? These are CXF dependencies, which I'm sure there are relevant entries in Apache CXF for them, no?
