Although I'm not a Jellier, I think that the length of the dependency list
gives a clue that Jelly is not really a commons component, but an
integration one like Ant. (Of course Ant isn't in Jakarta anymore....)

My first reaction is that Jelly will probably always be at the forefront of
technologies, so this isn't a problem that will just go away.

I'm hopeful that we can get a new [lang] release out fairly soon. That
should remove one from your list.
