Deepal Jayasinghe resolved AXIS2-3866.
--------------------------------------

    Resolution: Fixed

Do not worry at the run time we use none of the jars , so just remove them

> Hi guys,
>    We are building an API on top of Axis2 .1.4 and we are getting these annoying ant and ant-launcher jars in our distribution.
> Although it is not a problem for us to exclude them manually when building our assembly (as it is done in the Axis2 distribution), we think that excluding artifacts at this point is not a good idea since they might be used by some other artifacts we do not know about.
> In general this should be done using Maven dependency scope attribute.
> I examined the Axis2 modules and found out that ant and ant-launcher dependency definitions can be fixed as follows:
> 1. java2wsdl module - requires Ant but can set its dependency scope to "provided" to let the end users provide it
> 2. jibx - only its junit tests depend upon Ant, so the dependency scope can be set to "test"
> 3. xmlbeans - the same as above, scope can be set to "test"
> 4. jws-api - defines dependency to Ant but does not seem to actually require it (builds without it, so it can be removed)
> 5. a few Ant tasks in the tools folder also use Ant, but again scope can be set to "provided"
> Additionally the Woden library brings up Ant and Ant-launcher dependencies, but they are required only for the Woden Ant task, so 
> it can be excluded from the Woden dependency definitions.
> In effect, the manual exclusion of ant in the Axis2 binary distribution won't be required anymore.
