Description

Beginning with version 3.5.2 gremlin-core has a compile time dependency on gremlin-language and gremlin-language requires antlr4 which depends on javax.json

javax.json is CDDL 1.1 & GPL 2.0 licensed

 

Our legal team has brought about concerns continuing to use this package based on some of the conditions in these licenses.

 

Is there a way to make this dependency optional so we can avoid a dependency on javax.json?
