Activiti 5.20 dependencies seems wrong

[edsonrichter]

Hi!
I'm following the user guide, but seems the page about JAR dependencies needs a review.
There are some dependencies (for example, "jackson" jars) that are no more in 5.20 JAR libs.
Would you please help me? I don't use maven, and just looking the user guide I'm missing something.

Thanks in advance,

Edson Richter

If you want to download directly all activiti jars including dependencies, you can get jars from activiti-5.20.0.zip.
https://github.com/Activiti/Activiti/releases/download/5.20.0/activiti-5.20.0.zip
http://activiti.org/download.html

If you unzip activiti-5.20.0.zip, you can find all activiti jars including dependencies in the following dir.
* activiti-5.20.0/wars/activiti-explorer/WEB-INF/lib
* activiti-5.20.0/wars/activiti-rest/WEB-INF/lib

Thanks, looking into WEB-INF/lib solved the problem.
Nevertheless, seems to me that documentation need to be updated.

Is the following page you point out as a problem ?
http://www.activiti.org/userguide/#getting.started.including.libs

The following sentence is not incorrect.
「The Activiti download zip contains a folder libs which contain all the Activiti jars (and the source jars). The dependencies are not shipped this way.」

Do you intend to upgrage the lib hierarchy diagram ?
You can make pull request from Github.

Actually, besides I'm senior developer/architect, I'm not sure I'm the right person to update Activiti docs.
I'll look at it, and if I feel competent for the task, I'll propose a change.
