    It's depended on because Eclipse people have a sort of obnoxious
    behavior of creating really useful classes buried inside various
    plugins that they don't move out to more general places even though
    the implementations are general. In <3.3, this didn't really matter
    because all the plugins shipped in the build, so who cared.
    Obviously in 3.3 they are now shipping subsets of plugins, breaking
    dependencies like this one.
