Shrink webjar by excluding unnecessary content.

Hi guys,

I have excluded welcome/ src/ packages/ overrides/ licenses/ cmd/ build/welcome/ and build/examples/
and now the webjar is around ~15MB (compared to 85MB before). My project seems to work just fine, however I'm not 100% sure it won't break anyone else's project.

It would be great if you provide any official justification for these exclusions. Otherwise it is questionable why one should rely on custom modification like this.

I can't :( .. I'm not an extjs developer.. in fact what I've done is create a 5.1.0-my-SNAPSHOT version and upload it to my company repository to use that. I'm totally fine if you don't merge the pull request. The only thing I know is that it works for me.

It would be great to hear from some other users of this WebJar if this change will break something.

Right now the whole webjar is complete package delivered by Sencha. Anybody can decide which modules/themes require.
For my project I'm not using webjar directly. I'm using maven-dependency-plugin to download and extract required content of the webjar, and then I copy extracted files to desired location.

Here are my snippets:

            <plugin>

                                <resource>
                                    <directory>
                                        ${project.build.directory}/generated-resources/extjs/META-INF/resources/webjars/extjs/${extjs.version}/build
                                    </directory>

                    </execution>
                </executions>
            </plugin>

I would prefere to have full package and decide whch parts can I use in the project rather than receiving a part of it.
