There is a Maven1 file in the dom4j CVS, but it's kind of outdated. I've started a new Maven2 pom which possibly could get into CVS, but I'm completely new to the business of Maven. It was also pointed out on the developer mailing-list that dom4j transitively depends on itself via jaxen...
dom4j has a build-time dependency on both xpp3 and pull-parser-2 (not 2.1.10). As far as I can see, the dependencies are very small, confined to reader classes utilizing these two parsers. So for people not using the, it shouldn't be a problem to exclude them. Thanks for pointing out the use of the <optional> tag.
