At the time that I was building the packages, there was a commons-lang
function (something similiar to toString, but I forget the exact name)
that was being called inside commons-logging.

I don't know if there's any simple way to do this. For test, the logging
functionality is definitely useful. However, when it comes time to
distribute the program, having to add two extra dependencies that will
NEVER actually be used is kind of frustrating.

So far, I've had very positive experiences with the library. The
application that I'm using it in has made it up to v0.97d and has been
stable for over a week. (We use it all day every day during the week
here at the office.)

I have also received approval from my company to release the program
publicly under the GPL. As soon as I have some time to clean up the code
and put in appropriate GPL blurbs in all the source I'm going to look at
getting the project put up on sourceforge for continued development. At
that point, I would be VERY interested in having release candidates
available for asterisk-java so that I can easily say something like,
v0.97d depends on asterisk-java rc1, v1.0 depends on asterisk-java rc3
(or 0.2 rc1, etc.).
