Rationale
It is generally best practice to explicitly declare dependencies that are used in your code rather than relying on them to come through transitively. Though in reality the risk of these transitive dependencies disappearing is low and would be easily noticed, the declaration of proper
apidependencies will assure that our publishedpomfiles are accurate and others will not have to separately declare some dependencies that we rely on when using our jar files.The changes made here were done with the help of this Gradle dependency-analysis plugin, which is still not at v1.0 and seems to have a few quirks, but my spot checks of the suggestions given seem like they provide solid advice.
