Make log4j and spring-beans dependencies optional

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

I use version 2.8.0.
Current dependencies from pom.xml:

<dependency>
<groupId>log4j</groupId>
<artifactId>log4j</artifactId>
<version>1.2.15</version>
<scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>

<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-beans</artifactId>
<version>3.0.3.RELEASE</version>
<scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>

Both have compile scope. But if you don't use Log4JLogger adapter class then 
you don't need log4j at all. Thus mark this dependency as optional.

spring-beans is only used by MemcachedClientFactoryBean - if you don't use it 
you don't need this dependency at all. Thus mark as optional.

Also you may want to update to most recent versions of this dependencies.

We already have plans to do this.
