From Fedora Project Wiki
Drop dependency chain on
- xml-commons-jaxp-1.1-apis
- ant17
- servletapi4
- geronimo-jaf and glassfish-jaf (jaf is part of every Java 5 compatible jvm - no need to depend on third party package)
Dead packages
- geronimo-spec (geronimo-spec was split into: geronimo-jta... and so on with simple names: without the spec-api-$version and etc)
- javaee
Random notes
- in Fedora we have tomcat6-el-2.1-api but we depend on tomcat6-el-1.0-api
- glassfish-javamail is most probably same as javamail
- things like sun-yourapi have became glassfish project years ago
- If we depend on Java 6, we can get rid of all stax pacakges as they're part of Java 6
