Karolin,

I am pretty sure Batik is not really needed, but I am not sure why
it's not working if you remove it.

There are two reasons we have our "own" -orbeon JARs:

1. to avoid conflict with JARs present somewhere else (your app, the JDK)
2. some have patches against a standard version

For #1, those are "re-rooted", i.e. they are put in a different
package to avoid conflicts.

#1 and #2 are sometimes combined. E.g. Saxon both has patches and is re-rooted.

Either way, at this time you don't have a choice and have to use those
versions instead of the Liferay versions.

Now this said, it is clear that some trimming could be done, but if
you are running in an environment with GB of disk and RAM, it's
probably not worth the effort saving a few MB here or there.
Performance will likely not change a bit because of such trimming.

What we would like to do, ideally, would be to move to a modular,
OSGi-based architecture: this would allow:

* avoiding the pain of re-rooting JARs completely
* splitting the product into mandatory and optional modules

If anybody is interested in prototyping that, let us know! ;)

-Erik
