Personally, I think there is too much guesswork involved in understanding what the LGPL means re Java.
For example, from http://jtds.sourceforge.net/license.html, a Java library: Using jTDS is considered to be dynamic linking; hence our interpretation of > the LGPL is that the use of the unmodified jTDS source or binary does not > affect the license of your application code. The authors were kind enough to say what their interpretation of the license is - most LGPL libraries don't; but what if you distribute an LGPL library with an application as an uberjar - that may well be outside of what is permitted - I don't know. Is it outside the spirit of the 6b) of the LGPL, which seems to be intended to allow the user to easily swap in implementations. It just seems easier to stick to EPL, especially if you want to allow commercial use of the library.
