Could sec:java-sec-code:1.0.0 drop off redundant dependencies?

[slimming-fat]

Hi, I found that sec:java-sec-code:1.0.0’s pom file introduced 199 dependencies. However, among them, 8 libraries (4% have not been used by your project), the redundant dependencies are listed below.

More seriously, 8 redundant libraries have not been maintained by developers for more than 3 years (outdated dependencies).

Reduce these unused dependencies can help prevent introducing bugs/vulnerabilities from dependencies with outdated. Meanwhile, it can minimize the project size. To safely remove redundant dependencies, I constructed a complete call graph (resolved most of Java reflection and dynamic binding), and validated that they have not been used by the client code.

This PR sec:java-sec-code:1.0.0 for removing the redundant dependencies have passed the tests.

Best regards

Thanks for the pr, but don't want to deal with that.
