JPP-6 we can release.

isn't a newer version upstream, ot the upstream version still use those old libraries and sometimes we
can't upgrade because then we would break other packages above.  I wish the Java developers would try and
keep backward compatibilities in their APIs and keep up with newer versions of the libraries they use, but
unfortunately it is not the case.
