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

[Scott Stark]

If I look just at the eclipse project .classpaths, only varia and 
testsuite reference commons-http.

[655][valkyrie: Branch_5_0]$ find . -name .classpath -exec grep -l 
commons-http {} \;
./testsuite/.classpath
./varia/.classpath

The varia reference is old netboot stuff. Some thirdparty jar like 
remoting still may need it though.
