      While working on Jenkinsfile Runner, I have noticed that the Jenkins Core includes JUnit JAR and Hamcrest JARs as transitive dependencies. Looks like it was my mistake in 2017 when I was working on a custom patch for commons-httpclient with vulnerability fix backports. It leads to 350KB of extra libraries, and, which is worse, potentially messes up the classpaths for testing environments and plugins
