apache.commons.io dependency problem [message #905394]

In the org.apache.batik.pdf_1.6.0.v201105071520.jar which is used by the report engine in both version 4.2 and 3.7 a number of commons.io classes are included.

If copying the contents of report-engine/lib folder to WEB-INF/lib these classes can mask classes from other commons-io jars included in a non-osgi web app.

In the specific case I am looking at, I am seeing a NoSuchMethodError relating to a missing IOUtils.copy(InputStream, Writer) method which was introduced in Commons.io version 1.1, indicating that the included classes are very old.

Questions:
Is there a reason why later versions of commons.io cannot be used?

If not, is it possible to update the offending batik jar to use a more recent version of commons.io, or better still remove those classes and provide a separate commons-io jar?

Who is responsible for packaging the batik jar? Is this an eclipse.birt issue or should I be asking elsewhere?

Can you open a bugzilla request for this?
