This prevents the Maven based package depending on jruby from building if these transitive dependencies aren't explicitly excluded.

Hi Emmanuel,

Looking at jruby as a build-dep (instead of as an interpreter), it
appears that there are a number of entries in the jruby.pom that could
be problematic.  Basically, shouldn't everything below the <!-- jruby
dependencies --> line in the pom be either pulled in or excluded from
the pom?

I just want to make sure I understand why it's just those 3
dependencies, and not also, say, libconstantine-java
(org.jruby.extras:constantine), since we have just a few days left for
unblock requests on important bugs.

Thanks,
tony
