Description

spring-ldap.xsd imports spring-repository.xsd. This means that spring-data-commons is a required dependency for Spring LDAP XML configuration, even if no Spring Data features are used in an application.

One way to solve this would be to move the repositories definition into a separate XSD.

Research direction

Inspect spring-ldap.xsd and its import of spring-repository.xsd, then locate the repository definitions and their XML configuration tests. Determine how the schemas can be separated without requiring spring-data-commons for LDAP-only configuration; done means the repository definitions have an independent schema and the dependency is no longer required.
