                 Key: JBCACHE-1276
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBCACHE-1276
             Project: JBoss Cache
          Issue Type: Task
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
    Affects Versions: 2.1.0.CR3
            Reporter: Elias Ross

Cache Loader-specific dependencies, e.g. Berkeley DB, should have been declared as "optional" in the pom.xml.

Making these optional in 2.1.0 may affect the upgrade path of some users who depend on a particular database/datastore .jar file, but would reduce the amount of unnecessary jar files used in people's deployments.

Additionally, the jboss-common project brings in a few unnecessary dependencies, such as apache-httpclient.

Here's a patch for pom.xml.
