Almost all my dependencies are needed depending on what the user
wants, which options he chooses to enable.
For example, Infinispan Query depends on Hibernate Search "engine" and
Lucene-Core, and from that we stricly require only
hibernate-commons-annotations. But it's very likely you want to use
custom Analyzers, which then triggers Solr packages, a dozen of jars
containing the analyzer extensions, SLF4J, commons-logging,
commons-lang, etc...

Others like Apache Avro + Jackson are needed only if you want
clustering. So that's optional ?

Were should we draw the line? Should we cut them all out, and have a
readme mentioning "download from here" ?

If that's the case, I'd want to test it without those jars too, to
make sure I'm not removing something which is actually needed: I'd add
additional integration-testing modules.

It's used to parse the configuration files.
