Only in an OSGI environment, though, if I understand you correctly.
The jaxen classes are bundled precisely to avoid a dependency on
jaxen. I don't want them to require a separate download. Nor do I want
XOM to depend on OSGI. If there's something simple I can do to make it
easier to use XOM in OSGI, fine; but I'm not going to use it myself.
