Hmmm, I think this boils down to: "what other libraries are exposed in the nj4
API"? I think probably that jdom is the only one that is, in the
thredds.catalog package (we may change that in the next refactor). If the user
doesnt use that feature (and its rather obscure) there wouldnt be a problem.
But for completeness you would have to include it. Otherwise, I think all the
other libraries are runtime only.
