>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONNECTORS-1085
>             Project: ManifoldCF
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: Framework core
>    Affects Versions: ManifoldCF 2.0
>            Reporter: Karl Wright
>            Assignee: Karl Wright
>             Fix For: ManifoldCF 2.0
>
>
> The ManifoldCF 2.0 deliverable provides a number of connector-only services in mcf-core, such as:
> - ISO 8601 date parsing and formatting
> - Axis SOAP transport support via Httpcomponents Httpclient
> - extension to mime type mapping
> These functions have the unfortunate requirement that many (large) jar packages wind up needing to be included at the root level, which since these wind up in all of the various war files, really bloats the binary deliverable.
> For MCF 2.0, we can fix this by moving this functionality to a mcf-connector-common.jar, which would be included in connector-lib rather than at the root level.
> This can't be done for MCF 1.8, because of backwards compatibility reasons.
