> There is a circular dependency between libdom4j-java and libjaxen-java:

Yes. The libraries are circularly dependent. Previously we resolved that by 
cutting a few classes from jaxen and pasting them into dom4j, but I reverted 
that in the last upload. It wasn't very maintainable. If the classes in dom4j 
ever get out of sync with the jaxen package we may get trouble, so we would 
need to introduce hard versioned dependencies, which would defeat the purpose 
of the whole exercise...

I believe that jaxen should only Recommend dom4j, which should be solve the 
problem, right?
