restlet dependency in activiti-engine

[tombaeyens]

Hi,

Who can tell me about the restlet dependency in the activiti-engine module pom?

I excluded following dependencies and the mvn _Pcheck clean install still runs:

      <dependency>
         <groupId>org.restlet</groupId>
         <artifactId>org.restlet</artifactId>
      </dependency>
      <dependency>
         <groupId>org.restlet</groupId>
         <artifactId>org.restlet.ext.json</artifactId>
      </dependency>
      <dependency>
         <groupId>com.noelios.restlet</groupId>
         <artifactId>com.noelios.restlet</artifactId>
      </dependency>
      <dependency>
         <groupId>com.noelios.restlet</groupId>
         <artifactId>com.noelios.restlet.ext.httpclient</artifactId>
      </dependency>
      <!– required by Apache commons httpclient, required by restlet –>
      <dependency>
        <groupId>commons-logging</groupId>
        <artifactId>commons-logging</artifactId>
      </dependency>

Hi Tom.

The dependency is required in Activiti Cycle for the connector against Signavio. But actually I don't know how (and why) it ended up in the engine, maybe because we had one joined module in the beginning?

Can be deleted in the engine, if the cycle build still works. Otherwise maybe we have to move them from engine to cycle if it was used as transitive dependency…

Hope that helps
Cheers
Bernd

i just tried and the demo setup still works without those dependencies.  so i will commit the removal of those dependencies in the engine module
