Without Spring dependency?

[gruenich]

Is it possible to use pact-jvm without any Spring dependency? Are any features only usable with Spring?

Would it be worth to create a pull request that would make the Spring dependency optional, replacing the Springt part by pure Java?

[rholshausen]

Pact-JVM is pure JVM. Only the modules with spring in the names have dependencies on Spring. The core JUnit 5 support does not.

Okay, to be more precise: You do not provide examples for consumer and producer in pure Java, only Spring, Scala, Kotlin etc. Would you be interested in a pull request providing such a plain Java example?

[rholshausen]

Sure, a PR is always welcome. There are also lots of example projects, for instance, https://github.com/pactflow/example-consumer-java-junit

We created #1744 as a first proposal.
