module is way too large

[FlorianZipser]

the module uses some large dependencies

bcprov-jdk16-1.46.jar
ooxml-schemas-1.0.jar
ooxml-security-1.0.jar
poi-3.13.jar
poi-ooxml-3.13.jar
poi-scratchpad-3.13.jar
xmlbeans-2.6.0.jar

these dependencies are included into the module's jar. This enlarges the file up to 18 MB. When updating Pepper the module is downloaded and further all its dependencies are downloaded again, which doubles the size.
The double download needs to be avoided.

If I remember correctly, this could actually be solved by setting the dependencies to scope "provided" (given that's an option).
