Carlos Sanchez commented on MEV-385:
------------------------------------

I think that velocity-dep must be kept as is. If somebody decides to use it, it's ok for them. the real issue is MEV-384

> After fixing MEV-384 (velocity 1.4 dependencies) velocity-dep 1.4 should be relocated to velocity 1.4.
> Velocity-dep-1.4.jar is the same as velocity-1.4.jar PLUS logkit, oro and commons-collections packaged together. Since maven already manages transitive dependencies it makes no sense providing a single jar with everything packaged together for easier deploy.
> Now projects always end up having two copies of the velocity jars in the classpath (velocity and velocity-dep are usually both included in dependencies).
> Even worse, your project may depend on a specific version of oro or logkit, newer than the one in the velocity-dep jar: in that case you will end up having two different versions of those libraries in the classpath, one of them hidden in the velocity-dep jar (and so very difficult to detect). That could cause nasty problems, and maven can't help in selecting only the version you really need in your project...
