I think we should do a round of this with OO.o as well.  It ships with a
number of jars which should really be their own packages (and are
currently JPackaged).  hsqldb and rhino are two good examples. 

This serves two purposes: exposing more functionality to users and
removing duplication.  (There are probably a dozen SRPMS in FC that
include their own private copy of berkeley db.  This is something can
try to avoid with all the new java bits.)
