Hi! I found the pom file of project edu.stanford.protege:protege-launcher:5.6.0-beta-1-SNAPSHOT introduced 60 dependencies. However, among them, 4 libraries (6%) are not used by your project. I list the redundant dependencies below (labelled as red ones in the figure):

Redundant dependencies

org.apache.servicemix.bundles:org.apache.servicemix.bundles.javax-inject:jar:1_2:compile
com.google.errorprone:error_prone_annotations:jar:2.4.0:compile
com.google.code.findbugs:jsr305:jar:3.0.1:compile
org.slf4j:jul-to-slf4j:jar:1.7.12:compile

Outdated dependencies

org.apache.servicemix.bundles:org.apache.servicemix.bundles.javax-inject:1_2 (4198 days without maintenance)
org.slf4j:jul-to-slf4j:1.7.12 (3047 days without maintenance)


Removing the redundant dependencies can reduce the size of project and prevent potential dependency conflict issues (i.e., multiple versions of the same library). More importantly, 2 of the redundant dependencies org.apache.servicemix.bundles:org.apache.servicemix.bundles.javax-inject:jar:1_2:compile, com.google.code.findbugs:jsr305:jar:3.0.1:compile induced dependency conflict in the dependency graph. As such, I suggest a refactoring operation for edu.stanford.protege:protege-launcher:5.6.0-beta-1-SNAPSHOT’s pom file.

The attached PR helps resolve the reported problem. It is safe to remove the unused libraries (we considered Java reflection relations when analyzing the dependencies). These changes have passed edu.stanford.protege:protege-launcher:5.6.0-beta-1-SNAPSHOT’s maven tests.

Best regards
