What dependencies are strictly necessary?

[Mike McEwan]

Scott,
          Thanks for the response.

I'll maybe try starting a new maven project from scratch with 'cas- 
server-core' and the basic spring stuff then build it up from there. I  
found a very useful utility - 'loosejars' from Google Code. It  
basically reports on the number of classes loaded from a given jar and  
can report as an application executes. I noticed another post that  
mentions that some dependency analysis needs to be conducted on the  
'cas-server-webapp' before it could be placed in a public maven repo -  
perhaps 'loosejars' could help here?

Anyway, thanks again for the response.
