troublesome jaxen POM

[Steve Loughran <st...@apache.org>]

I've had to move a jar to our local repository with a handwritten pom 
because this bunny didnt work

http://www.ibiblio.org/maven2/jaxen/jaxen/1.1-beta-7/jaxen-1.1-beta-7.pom

1, it wants Dom4J, which aint in the repository

2. it shouldnt be asking for it anyway; all it needs is an XML impl.

http://www.ibiblio.org/maven2/dom4j/dom4j/1.5.2/dom4j-1.5.2.pom
looks ok to me?
it may be because the dependency is circular - that should work though.

yes, I know it has a bunch of optional dependencies in there. You can
exclude them from your end, though we really need to work on making this
workable without it.
