[jbosstools-dev] reusage of libraries

[Rob Stryker]

I suggest a new module "dependencies", within which each dependency has 
its own wrapper plugin.

How should we go about deciding which versions we're all going to start 
using? Also which dependencies are common enough that we should 
standardize on?

dom4j is a given.
