Bug#564696: Should libhibernate3-java depend on glassfish-javaee

[Tom Feiner]

Hi,

There's no problem installing glassfish, it just seems unnecessary. In
the original distribution from the hibernate team, they have a
hibernate-distribution-3.3.2.GA/ib/required/ directory, which contains
the required libraries needed to run hibernate. The list there is :
---
antlr-2.7.6.jar
commons-collections-3.1.jar
dom4j-1.6.1.jar
javassist-3.9.0.GA.jar
jta-1.1.jar
slf4j-api-1.5.8.jar
---

Ofcourse these dependencies should be supplied by their debian
packages, but I don't see glassfish there. (and not even in the
lib/optional directory).

I'd like to install as little as possible on my production servers,
that's why I raised this issue.

Can you explain why glassfish is a strong dependency for this package?
Am I missing something ?

Thanks,
    Tom Feiner
