These are dependencies of Sqoop 1.4.2 (libs inside sqoop/lib):
ant-contrib-1.0b3.jar
ant-eclipse-1.0-jvm1.2.jar
avro-1.5.3.jar
avro-ipc-1.5.3.jar
avro-mapred-1.5.3.jar
commons-io-1.4.jar

jackson-mapper-asl-1.7.3.jar
jopt-simple-3.2.jar

Why does Sqoop need to have all of them? (e.g. ant-eclipse - why? :) )
What do these dependencies actually do for sqoop?
