Description

We currently have plugins that depend on a variety of different versions of dom4j, xerces etc. At least 3 different versions of xerces are required to support maven.

At 2M / download this is clearly wasteful and undesirable.

I propose that we synchronise these versions. It is unlikely that it will cause any damage and is just an artifact of progress / different committers

Not all the size optimizations are equally effective. The attached list contains information about sizes of external libraries used as dependencies.

The following optimizations are most effective:

1. Moving all to the same version of ant saves ~2.1M
2. Moving castor and ashkelon to the same version of castor saves ~1.5M
3. Moving all to the same version of dom4j saves ~0.9M
4. Moving all to the same version of log4j saves ~0.9M
5. Moving all to the same version of xalan saves ~0.9M
6. Moving all to the same version of xerces saves ~3.6M

Other optimizations all together saves ~1.8M

Other than httpclient and dbcp this is done.

this is really an ongoing task to watch now, not an "issue". Just check the multiproject report before release.
