I think one hard part to balance, in this area, is that the third party jars (and hence the tools that build on them)
don't follow the exact same conventions as we do in Eclipse/OSGi land, or at least not as rigorously.
And that's what has led to this conservative version ranges for cases like this.
But, I'm more conservative that way. :)

I don't necessarily see that as an issue, if the new version is still 
backwards compatible with the old version, and they are only using API's 
that existing in 1.2 and 1.4.1, those same APIs should exist in the new 
versions as well, otherwise it's a major version change.   I would go as 
far to set the upper bound to 2.0 in both cases, but I'm more liberal 
that way.
