In my POV we should use existing bundles of these libs (if they exist).

If they do not exist it becomes more tricky since we would then risk colliding 
with others on the plugin name etc. 

Then we got two options:

1) put them in a org.jboss.tools prefixed plugin (e.g. org.jboss.tools.org.dom4j) and 
share that.

2) keep doing what we do now which is simple.

I actually don't have much issue with that option 2.

Is there any issue with this except a little bigger distribution size?
