Ashish, This has come up several times in the past, you'll see if you search through the archives, and at one point one of our community members had a parallel version going. It would be quite nice to get rid of the dependency if we can do so without breaking the functionality we currently have. If you are willing to take a shot at it, we can help out as well as merge the changes back into the codebase.
I think the major dependency is in the use of the assert keyword. It should be pretty easy, though a bit tedious, to replace those with RuntimeException(s). Any IDE should be able to find these fairly easily if set for JDK-1.3 compatibility. The other dependency is on some of the libraries that come bundled with JDK-1.4 but didn't in prior versions. Those can easily be worked around with either documentation of how to download/install for those who need JDK-1.3 support, or a module in Keel CVS that would hold the missing JARs. This would need some experimentation to determine the list of JARs.
