             Summary: Remove dependencies from binary releases
                 Key: LUCENE-6259
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-6259
             Project: Lucene - Core
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Ryan Ernst


In LUCENE-6247, one idea discussed to decrease the size of release artifacts was to remove the inclusion of dependencies from binary releases.  These jar files increase the size of the binary releases a lot, and the size is mostly in a couple modules (eg benchmark and spatial).

I think most people consume lucene through maven. For those that do use the binary release, we can still make pulling the dependencies for these modules easy. We can add a generated README file in each module that has dependencies, with instructions indicating they need to download the dependencies, and then give the list of jar files they need to download, with exact links to maven (which we can extract from ivy?).
