Im wondering why the apache commons classes are bundled along with
click.
If you look in the Click distribution (or build Click yourself), you
will see the following two packages too:
1. click-${version}.jar
and
2. click-nodeps-${version}.jar
The first one contains all the required dependencies (so Apache commons
too) so that a Click based web application can run on the spot without
extra effort from the user.
The second one, as it's names suggests: xxx-nodeps-xxx.jar contains no
dependencies, so you will need to supply them in order to run the
application correctly.

IMHO it is not recommended to duplicate the classes (they might have
different versions too).
You can find here the JARs Click relies on:
http://incubator.apache.org/click/docs/developer-guide/building.html#framework-dependencies
(if you want to supply them manually)
