Thanks for the reply, Brett. I suspected that the issue was within
dom4j's POM, and I'd like to help clean it up by submitting issues to
MEV in JIRA.  However, I am not sure what the appropriate corrections
would be.  Should the jars inside the dom4j POM be declared with a
particular scope that would prevent them from being fetched when
another POM depends on dom4j?  If so, which scope would this be?
