[jira] [Commented] (TINKERPOP-2460) Change groovy to provided scope in gremlin-driver

["Stephen Mallette (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TINKERPOP-2460?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17302901#comment-17302901 ] 

Stephen Mallette commented on TINKERPOP-2460:
---------------------------------------------

I realized that we really meant that the dependency should be "optional" and not "provided scope". By optional, we mean that it will not show as a transitive dependency to gremlin-driver and is only necessary for users who intend to do {{JsonBuilder}} serialization in which case they need to include the various groovy dependencies as described in the upgrade documentation.

> The only reason we have a groovy in {{gremlin-driver}} is to support {{JsonBuilder}} serialization which (1) I tend to doubt is even used and (2) isn't a defined type for any other serialization format besides GraphSON. While it would be nice to simply remove it completely, I think it would be better to give it {{provided}} scope and force users who depend on it currently to directly depend on groovy for it.
