Stephen Colebourne commented on LANG-1339:
------------------------------------------
The best option seems to be to abuse the "requires static" concept, making the
"java.desktop" dependency optional.
While the offending classes could be deprecated and replaced, there seems to be
an unwillingness to do so without changing the package name (my view is that
changing the package name again would be a mistake).
> Some classes depend on the java.desktop profile

> Commons Lang currently depends on java.desktop. This seems like an
> unnecessary heavy dependency for a library like Commons Lang. We need to find
> a way to fix this, without breaking bc. For more information see
