Hi,

I’m trying to move an old project to the okta-sdk-java 10.x but it has Spring 5 compile dependencies (see below).  
This is not reported in the release notes ([Release 10.0.0 · okta/okta-sdk-java · GitHub](https://github.com/okta/okta-sdk-java/releases/tag/okta-sdk-root-10.0.0)) nir in the migration guide ([okta-sdk-java/MIGRATING.md at master · okta/okta-sdk-java · GitHub](https://github.com/okta/okta-sdk-java/blob/master/MIGRATING.md#migrating-from-8xx-to-10xx)).

Can I use the SDK without Spring?

Thanks,

Gualtiero
