Description

The two '-all' client artifacts produced by the build from the 'original' client module components, are both listed dependencies in the apache-artemis distribution pom in the artemis-distribution dir. These two -all clients are mutually exclusive and dont coexist, containing the same classes but with javax.jms and jakarta.jms spec impls, and the artifacts also contain effective duplicates of all the original jms client [transitive] dependencies already being passed on separately (giving 3 copies in various cases).

For these reasons they should be marked 'optional' in the pom so that they arent automatically passed on to anyone happening to use the pom (albeit that itself should be rare).
