We will have to redesign the plugin so that it doesn't have a hard requirement on the following dependencies. Having them in the classpath, might have a conflict with custom apps that also rely on similar or related dependencies.

To make this plugin usable by the community/customers, we must design it to not rely on these dependencies.
