It's a good point and will do. I can't help but feel a little worry 
about this issue altogether, because after all I suppose that it is 
possible to have some sort of configuration where noone actually 
provides apache commons. :) I do think that at least one should have no 
version specified. Unfortunatly PDE complicates this because it always 
wants to add in the most exact version. :( Have you come across any 
good discussions of this?
