Background info: http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-optional-and-
excludes-dependencies.html

Neither optional dependencies or exclude dependencies (which could be used as a work-around with 
1.2.15) are desirable.  But log4j 1.2.x isn't a candidate to be split into subprojects with only non-
optional dependencies.

The log4j 1.2.14 POM (and likely proceeding ones) were not actually used to build log4j and listed no 
dependencies (or effectively everything was an optional dependency).

I could see how it would be desirable to make the compile scope dependencies (javamail, jms, jmxri, 
jmxtools) optional in 1.2.16.  Or maybe all but javamail since it is in java.net repo and is more likely to 
be used than the others which need to be manually downloaded.
