> `Tang` is a strong foundation of all Apache REEF modules. However, it has too old dependancies. This dependency propagates to other modules using `Tang`. Please see the attached dependency graph.
> * reflections : 0.9.9-RC1  (Mar, 2013)
> * guava: 11.0.2 (Feb, 2012)
> * javassist: 3.16.1 GA (Mar 06, 2012)
> Since the only root cause is a tool class `Tint.java` using `org.reflections`, it would be nice to split the tool from `Tang` by making `Tang Tint` sub project.
> Please note that the main goal of this issue is making `Tang` better by removing dependancies, not upgrading `Tint.java` to use latest dependencies.
