Reduce dependencies of spring-cloud-dataflow-rest-client
Problem description:
spring-cloud-dataflow-rest-client is shipping dependencies which are not required for a client which uses the rest API.
I noticed that hibernate-core and spring-data-jpa are included as implicit dependencies. This way our client accidentially started a h2 database locally.
Also the spring-cloud-skipper dependencies are included in the rest-client which might also not be needed?
Solution description:
Move the data model classes into their own maven artifact which should be used of spring-cloud-data-flow-core and spring-cloud-skipper-core.
This way there are way less implicit dependencies in the spring-cloud-dataflow-rest-client and you can set the version of java for the rest client and the model classes artifact themselves (which could still be 1.8 instead of 17 at a later version)
Also the start time is way faster than with all those dependencies.
Current quick fix: We excluded the artifacts we don't need from the rest client.
