Yep, it looks like that's why they needed it.  This is the additonal
explanation I got today via bugzilla:

 "... actually, we need this (in my company) to specify dependencies in to
  oro in our apps with the Extension-List mechanism. For instance Tomcat
  does not consider that a dependency is resolved if the "extension" we
  depend on does not specify this entry."

After looking at the previous JDK docs, it appears this requirement was
introduced in J2SE 1.3.

Okay, I took care of it.  Thanks for the guidance.
