Too many dependencies?

[hrstoyanov]

Here are the dependency 2.1.7 inflicts on your project:
+--- com.hubspot.jinjava:jinjava:2.1.7
| +--- org.slf4j:slf4j-api:1.7.12
| +--- org.javassist:javassist:3.18.2-GA
| +--- org.jsoup:jsoup:1.8.1
| +--- de.odysseus.juel:juel-api:2.2.7
| +--- de.odysseus.juel:juel-impl:2.2.7
| +--- de.odysseus.juel:juel-spi:2.2.7
| +--- org.apache.commons:commons-lang3:3.4
| --- com.google.code.findbugs:annotations:3.0.0

That is a bit too much! Especially problematic are the findbugs "shutup" annotation, but are these jars all that necessary? The most I can put up with is Guava dependence, if at all... Can you try to make it a "single jar" beauty like the freemarker or jsoup projects?

... Staying away from jinjava for now, given no compelling benefits over freemarker for email templates (Unless you can point some?) and all the extra baggage.

PS: I use ansible a lot and I am well aware of jinja2's power.

@hrstoyanov are you concerned with the size of the dependencies or keeping track of them? Are you looking for a single fat jar instead using maven to manage them? Thanks.

[hrstoyanov]

Yeah, take a look at jsoup or aftermarket for inspiration.

It also conflicts with guava 18.0 and above. emptyIterator() in Guava has become a private method, which causes NoMethodFoundException when rendering a template with Map or List structure. There will be no such a problem if you shade the dependency when making a fat jar

It's older issue but guava dependency is really terrible. Why not to make the library less requiring (and breaking existing dependencies in project where is used). Shadow is good option.
