Tamas Cservenak updated MNG-8146:
---------------------------------
Component/s: Dependencies
> Drop use of commons-lang
> ------------------------
>
> Key: MNG-8146
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-8146
> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: Dependencies
> Reporter: Tamas Cservenak
> Assignee: Tamas Cservenak
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 3.9.8
>
>
> Maven 4 already did this. By introspection, it turns out that 3.9 is also
> very lightly use commons-lang, while it in fact represents quite noticeable
> overhead of the ZIP distro size (10% almost). Without commons-lang Maven
> 3.9.x distro is 9MB only.
> Moreover, the presence of commons-lang just introduced some peculiarities:
> * confusion over StringUtils (vs Plexus Utils StringUtils)
> * skewed param validation: according to commons-lang string "2." is not a
> valid float, while Float.parseFloat nicely parses it into 2.0 (see MNG-7756)
> * PR ended up with {_}same LOC but noticeable smaller ZIP distro{_}, meaning
> not much was really used out of itÂ
