Dependency towards Servlet API

We have a provided dependency towards

		<!-- Provided dependencies -->
		<dependency>
			<groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
			<artifactId>servlet-api</artifactId>
			<version>${servlet-api.version}</version>
			<scope>provided</scope>
		</dependency>

which is only used on the SimpleRobotRulesParserTest for http status constants:

• int SC_MOVED_PERMANENTLY = 301;
  

• int SC_SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE = 503;
  

• int SC_OK = 200;
  

We have two options:

• (a) Drop the dependency and replace the constants by some custom static constants for t he unit test
• (b) Move it to test scope instead of provided.

Any thoughts?

I am also fine using constants from the JDK 😃 - but we don’t need a dependency for just three constants , imho 😬 - so I am also (a)

I’d be in favour of doing (a).
