As for dependencies, removing them for the sake of removing them isn't necessarily the right thing to do. For example, I noticed attempts to move away from Commons BeanUtils. For the life of me I can't understand why anyone would want to do that, especially when the code that replaced it was less functional.

Which one ?

Most people come to Commons Configuration for an improved java.util.Properties. We can't reasonably impose a lot of dependencies for such a basic need. Some users complained about the size of the library and its dependencies in the past.

There is another dependency I'd like to remove, it's JXPath. We should be able to replace it with the javax.xml.xpath API introduced in Java 5.
