devon4j api pom should use spring dependencies

[jdiazgon]

As the new devon4j-api is used to contain api related files like interfaces, I was trying to generate with CobiGen those templates there, so that we are compliant with the new architecture.

One of the templates that I want to generate on the devon4j-api project is SearchCriteriaTo. This class extends from AbstractSearchCriteriaTo which imports org.springframework.data.domain.Pageable;.

The problem is that, by default, the pom of devon4j-api does not define the spring related dependencies like:

    <dependency>
      <groupId>com.devonfw.java.starters</groupId>
      <artifactId>devon4j-starter-spring-data-jpa</artifactId>
    </dependency>

Therefore we get compilation errors as Pageable is not found.

I would like to have that dependency on the pom by default.

@jdiazgon thanks for this excellent finding.
As the api should be minimal from dependencies point of view do not put a dependency on the starter but use spring-data-commons instead. Thanks.
