velocity-dep 1.4 should be relocated to velocity 1.4
----------------------------------------------------
Key: MEV-385
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MEV-385
Project: Maven Evangelism
Type: Bug
Reporter: fabrizio giustina
After fixing MEV-384 (velocity 1.4 dependencies) velocity-dep 1.4 should be
relocated to velocity 1.4.
Velocity-dep-1.4.jar is the same as velocity-1.4.jar PLUS logkit, oro and
commons-collections packaged together. Since maven already manages transitive
dependencies it makes no sense providing a single jar with everything packaged
together for easier deploy.
Now projects always end up having two copies of the velocity jars in the
classpath (velocity and velocity-dep are usually both included in dependencies).
Even worse, your project may depend on a specific version of oro or logkit,
newer than the one in the velocity-dep jar: in that case you will end up having
two different versions of those libraries in the classpath, one of them hidden
in the velocity-dep jar (and so very difficult to detect). That could cause
nasty problems, and maven can't help in selecting only the version you really
need in your project...
