spring-amqp jar file dependencies

Hello,
I imported spring-amqp and spring-rabbit source code into Eclipse and noticed that there are compile dependencies to:

• spring-retry
• jackson-mapper-asl
• a newer version of log4j than 1.2.14

On the other hand, when I add the maven dependency of spring-amqp and spring-rabbit jars to my project, it doesn't pull in the above jars. So far without having spring-retry, jackson-mapper and a new log4j library, spring-amqp works fine and I haven't seen any error. I wonder if our use-cases didn't result in execution of the code which needs those dependencies.

Could you confirm this?

Thanks,

Yes; they are optional deps.

Of course, you will need them if you use the features that use them, such as the retry interceptors, json converters etc.
