I'm conflicted on how big of an issue that is. It's a really old version of jackson since it depends on the org.codehaus version. On the other hand, it's probably less likely to conflict as such.
Guava, is definitely a much more likely potential source of conflict, though.

Furthermore, changes to SolrJ dependencies should be noted clearly in CHANGES.txt (e.g. new SolrJ dependency XYZ for purpose ___, or updated SolrJ dependency XYZ to 1.2.3). I see no reference to this in CHANGES.txt.

I execute "mvn dependency:tree" to see what's going on and I see a huge WTF -- SolrJ depends on Guava! Since when?! 6.2.0 apparently and in this issue -- https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-9200 Oh wow it depends on Jackson now too! Sorry, this is not okay and I feel strongly about this. Very deliberate care should be taken to our SolrJ dependencies since they are used in many environments, and dependencies there add a burden on anyone using Solr. **Adding SolrJ dependencies should be announced**; either in their own issue with appropriate title or noted in the dev list (not a JIRA issue) so as to be noticed. Can we agree to do this from now on? Fortunately, it *appears* that the usage is pretty minimal? Greg Chanan / Steve Rowe, it appears the Guava dependency is just a couple import statements for annotations. Is that it? I manually excluded guava from my SolrJ dependency in the pom.xml along with things like Woodstox which I always exclude. I'm not sure yet about the scope of Jackson; we haven't needed that to date as we've got Noggit. ~ David -- Lucene/Solr Search Committer, Consultant, Developer, Author, Speaker LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/davidwsmiley | Book: http://www.solrenterprisesearchserver.com -- Lucene/Solr Search Committer, Consultant, Developer, Author, Speaker LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/davidwsmiley | Book: http://www.solrenterprisesearchserver.com
