I removed the use of the DistributionFactory and its dependency on commons-discovery.
The approach I took was to add settable distribution fields where needed as a replacement for invoking the factory. These fields always default to our distribution implementations and can by altered via constructors as well as setters. Everything is checked in and critiques are welcome.
