[jboss-dev] Why no commons-codec in AS5?

[Scott Stark]

It definitely is the old netboot stuff that is introducing 
commons-httpclient.jar:

      // If the home URL begins with http add the webav and httpclient jars
      if( homeURL.getProtocol().startsWith("http") == true )
      {
         this.addLibrary("webdavlib.jar");
         this.addLibrary("commons-httpclient.jar");
         this.addLibrary("commons-logging.jar");
      }

We should just remove commons-httpclient.jar from the common/lib
