What are the common dependencies of Weblogic 8.1.6

We still have to use Weblogic 8.1.6. There are some libraries packaged with the server, in common/lib but unfortunately there is only a 3rdparty.jar inside it. The libraries take precedence, so if we use e.g. Apache Commons Lang 2.4 we get a MethodNotFoundError at runtime.

So what exactly is inside the 3rdparty.jar and which versions?

If we would know we could define a POM with the weblogic common dependencies and "freeze" their version numbers, to see incompatibilities at compile time rather than runtime.

As I found out after more investigations, 3rdparty.jar is not used, but most 3rd party libraries are packed into the weblogic.jar itself.

Look inside the jar - it should be obvious what classes are there. I don't have access to WebLogic but there should be some form of manifest inside which describes the packages and their versions.
