As I mentioned a few times, I am concerned about the amount of jar files 
bundled in OFBiz: there are so many and some of them are really old and, 
because of dependencies and the lack of proper documentation (we did not a good 
job in keeping track of what we have, from where it comes and how it is used, 
and if bug fix releases are issued etc...) no one seems really able to manage 
them properly.
In order to try to gain control of the situation I have started the long, 
boring and complex process of analyzing each and every jar, trying to figure 
out their dependencies and how they are used.
I am still at the early stage of this effort, but I would like to report a 
couple of possible issues:

1) geronimo-qname_1.1_spec-1.0.jar seems to contain the same classes of 
xml-apis-2.9.1.jar (javax.xml.namespace); we can probably remove 
geronimo-qname_1.1_spec-1.0.jar
2) juel-2.2.1.jar contains classes for the packages javax.el and 
de.odysseus.el; the file el-api-2.2.jar, that is required by Tomcat, contains 
classes for the packages javax.el; how should we deal with this? (maybe Adrian 
knows what to do)

This is all for now,

Jacopo
