Optional dependencies are not documented about jcabi-http HOT 10 CLOSED

Actually: the dependencies above compile, but still fail at runtime with:

 java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/ws/rs/core/UriBuilder

It took me a while to see since the error handling in our code only catches Exception, not Throwable, making this a bit of a hidden failure.

I tried adding

       <dependency>
            <groupId>javax.ws.rs</groupId>
            <artifactId>jsr311-api</artifactId>
            <version>1.1.1</version>
       </dependency>

But that then leads to:

java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.sun.ws.rs.ext.RuntimeDelegateImpl

which seems to indicate that somewhere you depend on the whole Jersey client.

@peterbecker you're right, we need to write a proper "required dependencies" page

I'm aware of the task, give me some time to find a developer...

@peterbecker we added a new page in #38. If that satisfies your requirement, please close the issue, or else let us know what you need.

Hi @peterbecker . Hope you don't mind, but could you close this ticket and raise your suggestion in #38 in a separate issue? We'll continue from there. :)
