I don't like the idea of creating some kind of component hierarchy, where components higher up may depend on lower levels libs. This should be decided for every individual case.
In the case of BU2 I'd say it's better to change the language level requirement to 1.7. We could use Objects.notNull. Other benefits include the new ReflectiveOperationException root exception [1] which was introduced in Java 7 and the multi catch blocks. This would make the exception handling and wrapping code much more clearer.
