[jboss-dev] jaxen in AS

[Steve Ebersole]

jdom also has a dependency on jaxen, although it depends on which 
features of jdom you use (specifically jdom uses jaxen for xpath stuff, 
although its a weird inter-dependency thing from what i recall).  
Anyway, Hibernate requires jdom; however, Hibernate itself does not use 
any of the jaxen-related capabilities of jdom and thus does not require 
jaxen be present on the classpath for its own use...
