Is antlr-complete a necessary Java dependency ? #103
Description
Hi !
I'am using the new Riak 2.0.0 java client as a Maven dependency in my project.
Looking at the dependency tree :
mvn dependency:tree

It seems that a lot of unnecessary dependencies are coming fromriak-pb through antlr-complete...
The project seems to compile fine without this dependency :
<dependency>
<groupId>org.antlr</groupId>
<artifactId>antlr-complete</artifactId>
<version>3.5.1</version>
</dependency>
At the moment I'm excluding it explicitly out of my project :
<dependency>
<groupId>com.basho.riak</groupId>
<artifactId>riak-client</artifactId>
<version>2.0.0</version>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.antlr</groupId>
<artifactId>antlr-complete</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
It would be nicer to not include it at all in your project... Or is it needed ?
