All its descendants need it, atm :) (Well, not exactly true, because we 
have many protocol-xxx projects that don't need this jar)

Well, may be the problem is not the apacheds sub-project itslef, but the 
fact that sub-sub projects like protocolas are into apacheds sub-project ?

hmmm. That would be a little but ennoying. almost of apacheds descendant 
need this dependence. Having it spreaded to 10 to 15 subprojetcs will 
drive us directly to build problems if we updgrade shared-ldap jar. But 
this is something we can do.

Now, I don't know exactly why this should become a problem when adding 
those osgi projects. May be th eproblem is not the dependency itself, 
but the project structure, and may be we should reorganize it to ease 
your integration?
