The Java Connector pom.xml file contains slf4j-api as dependency with version range [1.4.0,1.7.25]. This downloads 51 versions into the local repository. Some of these versions only contain pom files but no jar files. Is there a way to limit these to fewer versions without causing build failures?
All dependencies are optional at runtime, but to build, dependencies like jna, slf4j, waffle are needed ...
Jar can be downloaded (https://downloads.mariadb.com/Connectors/java/) , but there is no way to build without having those dependencies.
Thank you for the quick response Diego.
So all the slf4j versions including the ones that only have pom file but no corresponding jar files are needed as well? Is it possible to build without aws support?
There is code that use jna, slf4j, waffle dependencies, but this code will be used only if those dependencies are available at runtime, that's why they are needed to build jar.
AWS is only used for test, so technically those can be removed from pom.xml, if test directory is deleted, but that's not a good solution.
The only solution if not connected to build jar is to have a local maven repository containing all those dependencies.
Thank you Diego
