Comment (by leeroy):

 I can't really comment about the use of libcommons-codec instead of a
 particular version. Would it help that most operators of metrics-lib will
 also be running newer versions than the version I develop with (which is
 from oldstable)? In general most operators will experience this dilemma as
 different distributions come with different versions. Personally O think
 it's a problem as long as the code works with an oldstable version of
 libcommons (it does).

 `<zipgroupfileset/>` is the way to import into jarspace. It doesn't work
 any other way. I'm concerned that you would prefer to import this into
 onionoo instead of metrics-lib where the feature is implemented.
