Description

Solr uses a bunch of dependencies that are not declared inside build.gradle files. These dependencies are pull in transitively instead of declared explicitly. This makes it easy for new dependencies to be added without seeing the impact.

https://github.com/gradle-dependency-analyze/gradle-dependency-analyze can be used to find used but undeclared dependencies during the build process.
