As discussed on the last Mylyn call, I have gone ahead with the removal of
the OSLC connector from master. The connector was always intended as a
framework for building OSLC integrations but was never shipped and hasn't
been updated in the past few release cycles. More discussion and background
can be found on the task:

 421071: remove OSLC connector from Mylyn
 https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=421071

This removes the dependency on JDOM.
