[DISCUSS] Remove spring and spring-dm from featues.xml.....
For 3.1, I’m thinking about removing the dependencies on spring and spring-dm from the features.xml file. Right now, if you do a "feature:install cxf”, you would get spring 3.2 and spring-dm forcibly installed even if you don’t need either of them. What’s worse is if you need Spring4, you have other problems of multiple versions and such. By removing that dependency, that problem wouldn’t pop up.
If people need spring-dm, they can “feature:install spring-dm” first (or add to their boot features or something) and it would still work like today. That’s a user impact, but not much of one.
Thoughts? Any major objections?
Also, with dropping support for Karaf 2.3, I THINK we can remove the specs dependencies, at least the API jars that Karaf has already endorsed. I need to double check that though.

I went ahead and did this on 3.1. I’m going to investigate the specs things next.

Providing such an optional feature would indeed be useful...

+1 for removing the dependency.
We just need to communicate it in the release notes.
