As soon as Encryption or Digital Signatures are involved,
or if you want to compile iText yourself, you need the
Bouncy Castle jars (pure Java).

iTextAsian.jar could be necessary if you want to use CJK fonts,
but iText compiles without iTextAsian.jar and I for one never
had the need to include iTextAsian.jar in the CLASSPATH of one
of my projects.

I don't know if anyone is using iTextAsianCmaps.jar.
The circumstances where you'd need that jar are very exceptional.

The hyphenation jar contains XML files that are necessary as
soon as you use the hyphenation functionality.
iText compiles without them, and executes even if the jar isn't
there, but you'll see that not one word is hyphenated if it's
missing, even if you ask iText to use the hyphenation functionality.

I hope this completes the answer ;-)
