> The BeanUtils library is a dependency in the velocity contrib module.
> It is a compile time dependency but the velocity code that Solr uses doesn't leverage any of this.
> After removing the dependency Solr compiles just fine and the browse handler also loads up correctly. 
> While chatting to [~ehatcher] offline he confirmed that the tests also pass without this dependency.
> The main motivation behind this is a long standing CVE against bean-utils 1.8.3 ( [https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2014-0114#vulnCurrentDescriptionTitle] ) which to my knowledge cannot be leveraged from how we use it in Solr . But security scans still pick it up so if it's not being used we should simply remove it.
