The usual way to provide a class path for a JVM instance is that the caller
specifies the class path to be uses before the JVM is started.

When JARs try to pull in dependencies on their own they do not play nicely
together with other libraries the same JVM.

Currently we're manually removing the offending entries from the JARs after
download and manage the patched libraries on our own.  However, this is not the
way Maven is supposed to work. ;-)

We use the libraries to utilize LibreOffice/OpenOffice as backend service for
rendering documents.  I hope that such use cases are also supported by the
LibreOffice Java API.

The LibreOffice/OpenOffice libraries have been published and regularly updated
via Maven since 2007:
