Hi everyone,
I have a small UIMA AS clients which is build with maven,
it depends on uimaj-core, uimaj-as-core and uimj-as-activemq.
The list of dependencies is very long and I wonder it
that is really necessary, since I have to run
this little tool on a server the classpath
in my start script gets a mile long.
You might be able to use the new bootstrap loader (see the
uimaj-bootstrap project) to reduce the class path.
Would it be possible to reduce the amount
of dependencies ?
Probably. We've tried, but have gotten into trouble, for instance, when
we launched a uima-as client with only some of the active-mq jars, only
to find that under some error conditions (e.g., the broker failing), the
behavior became unstable. So it would have to be carefully investigated.
e.g. uimaj-examples could be a good candidate to remove
I tried removing it (in Eclipse, from the build path) and that seemed to
not cause any problems, so it's probably a good candidate to remove.
There are optional dependencies which are made non-optional
through maven, because they are just normal dependencies.
Here is a list taken from uimaj-as-activemq, maybe we can handle
that a bit different, and I really doubt that we need them all.
