As you won't provide those commercial jars packaged, what's the use of 
building related tasks ? A packaged application should not rely on external 
world to work, but on the environment established by its dependencies only.

Well, Weblogic is available for Linux. If I install Ant from an RPM, the 
weblogic related tasks should be available so long as I have the 
necessary third part libraries.

There is a difference between the dependencies required for an install 
and the dependencies which can be utilised, if available at runtime. 
Things in the optional jar are generally runtime options, not 
install-time options.
