Well, you've found one argument to lessen the number of external dependencies...

I've come across this in several Java projects I've audited; it seems people have a tendency to drop in a Jar found somewhere on the Web for the tiniest amount of reuse possible from it. The result is a mess of dependencies that ends up undermining the code base. I prefer to use external components sparingly.

It's probably most useful to ask what you can do before. Make a point of evaluating the future lifetime of an external component before you start using it. Do some research on how large its developer community and its user community are. Also, prefer to use a component that has one or two "lesser" alternatives which you could also use.

If there's something you're tempted to use, but it has only one or two people working on it and isn't used much beyond their own project, then you should probably roll your own - or join forces with the maintainers of the component.
