             Summary: velocity-engine-core contains commons-io Maven descriptor
                 Key: VELOCITY-970
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-970
             Project: Velocity
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Engine
    Affects Versions: 2.3
            Reporter: Thomas Mortagne


commons-io is embedded in velocity-engine-core, which is OK from Java point of 
view since it's weaved (not causing any dependency problems).

The problem is that it contains the commons-io Maven descriptors at the 
standard location (/META-INF/maven/commons-io/commons-io/), which is a problem 
when you analyze JAR files to find what's in it because it ends up being 
identified as a JAR exposing commons-io (which is not the case since it's 
weaved).

Honestly, it feels very strange to embed commons-io in the first place given 
that commons-lang for example is a transitive dependency, so I feel like the 
simplest would just be to remove all the plumbing to embed and weave commons-io 
and simply keep it as transitive dependency.
