I am in favour of doing this actually. But I started to work my way
around the dom4j dependency by using JAXP. Yes I know, JAXP is a PITA
but if it makes this nasty dependency go away that is an advantage.
JAXP ? sounds crazy ;)
In any case it won't go away from jbosstools as long as hibernate is using dom4j...

It is simple, but you end up with an unmanageable hidden dependency
tree. I use dom4j version 1.4, you use 1.6 and still another guy uses
1.6.1. Not that much of a problem, but it is not very clean.
gawd - I completely ignored that one..it must be the vacation.
Yes - that is something that makes it sensible to change them to "proper"
plugins.
