Embedding ActiveMQ

Recently working on embedding ActiveMQ in Tomcat for internal messaging (all within the JVM so using the vm protocol). Was really shocked with the amount of dependencies maven pulled down for ActiveMQ (jetty, pieces of Hadoop, etc). So far here is what I have for exclusions

<!-- ActiveMQ -->
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.apache.activemq</groupId>
            <artifactId>activemq-core</artifactId>
            <version>${org.apache.activemq.version}</version>
            <exclusions>
                <exclusion>
                    <groupId>org.apache.activemq</groupId>
                    <artifactId>activeio-core</artifactId>
                </exclusion>
                <exclusion>
                    <groupId>org.fusesource.fuse-extra</groupId>
                    <artifactId>fusemq-leveldb</artifactId>
                </exclusion>
                <exclusion>
                    <artifactId>mqtt-client</artifactId>
                    <groupId>org.fusesource.mqtt-client</groupId>
                </exclusion>
            </exclusions>
        </dependency>
