The JDK 1.3 docs includes information on how JAR files can declare (in the
manifest) their dependence on specific versions of specific packages. If
you're running a webapp inside Tomcat 4, Tomcat will even check this for
you to make sure that the required pacakges are available.
I suggest we utilize the same techniques rather than re-inventing
anything.
