That's not a problem as long as the jars are under an acceptable license for redistribution, which they are. A counterexample would be a tool we like to use but won't redistribute - we should be sure things like that don't get "sucked in" accidentally.

On a related subject, one side-effect of the dependency changes is
that the downloaded jars that are copied to the deploy tree will be
picked up by the snapshot target.  The ASF need to decide if
distributing these jars this way is acceptable.

Geir,

Actually, I didn't reply to your question.  See below.

Ok.  So are you against having the external dependency, or having an
external dependency for which we don't have a jar in svn or the website?
I'm against having an external dependency, in the HEAD trunk, for which
we don't have a SOURCE jar in svn or the website.

I assume that official releases do include "all" dependencies ("most" is
probably more appropriate; we probably won't include the OS and base C
libraries...).
