             Summary: Replace use of Guava in maven-resolver-provider with a lighter weight alternative
                 Key: MNG-6306
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6306
             Project: Maven
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 3.5.2
            Reporter: Andy Wilkinson


Spring Boot's CLI currently embeds Aether and uses Maven's Aether Provider 3.2.1. We'd [like to switch to Maven Resolver and Maven Resolver Provider|https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/issues/7627] but the use of Guava adds 2.4MB to a < 10MB binary. We'd like to avoid that 25% increase if we can.

Given that Aether and Maven Resolver are intended to be embedded, would it be possible to remove the use of Guava from Maven Resolver Provider? Its use appears to have been added in [this commit|https://github.com/apache/maven/commit/61c374042560b2dc21c294886615931a888df597#diff-b275596b2058bcd469e4c45288cef7b4].
