             ...

    
        jaxen
        jaxen
        1.1.3
        compile
        
            
                maven-cobertura-plugin
                maven-plugins
            
            
                maven-findbugs-plugin
                maven-plugins
            
            
                xalan
                xalan
            
            
                xercesImpl
                xerces
            
        
    

             ...

    
        xalan
        xalan
        2.7.0
        jar
        compile
        
            
                xml-apis
                xml-apis
            
        
    
    
        xerces
        xercesImpl
        2.9.1
        jar
        compile
        
            
                xml-apis
                xml-apis
