Description

the webdav library brings in a dependency on commons-collections solely for one reference to LinkedMap. Since none of the additional features of this class are used, and as I understand it Jackrabbit requires JDK 1.4+, this can be replaced with LinkedHashMap.

jcr-commons still brings in the commons-collections dependency, but I believe it can be safely excluded by users that don't need to use the predicates (Which is true of the webdav client)
