[jira] Commented: (JXPATH-138) jxpath 1.3 / mockrunner dependency

["Sebb (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JXPATH-138?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12749958#action_12749958 ] 

Sebb commented on JXPATH-138:
-----------------------------

As far as I can tell, the dependency on MockRunner is for test scope only, i.e. it is not needed at run-time.

So I don't see how this can be a blocker - seems to me more like an enhancement request.

> I'm a packager for the Fedora Project and co-maintainer of jxpath. We,
> the maintainers of jxpath, recently tried to update to the latest
> version 1.3 and realized that building the package requires mockrunner
> which seems to be quite unmaintained and pulls in unbearable
> dependencies like a full-fledged J2EE stack. We would therefore like to
> ask you to migrate to a modern, actively maintained replacement like
> easymock2. Other downstream projects (esp. distributions) that depend on
> building from source would also benefit from doing so.

> The ticket priority is "Blocker" because using mockrunner effectively prevents us from updating to 1.3.
