Description

I had troubles with the Apache FOP's servlet-api:2.2 dependency in a Spring Boot application. The "javax.servlet.ServletContext" class is available in Spring Boot's Tomcat dependency and in FOP's servlet-api dependency. If Java picks up the the class from servlet-api it's too old. Tomcat refuses to start.

Can the scope of the servlet-api be changed in FOP's pom.xml?
