1. Build entirely with Maven, without embedded JARs in project sources [done]
2. Replace System.out.println with SLF4J logging [done]
3. Replace ex.printStackTrace(); with detailed Exception [partial]
4. Replace commons-logging dependency with SLF4J 1.6/1.7 [done]
5. Allow loading bot data files from classpath (too complex, and probably non-performant in Android anyway, alternative: extract the bot ZIP file to getCacheDir())
6. Replace json dependency with jackson 2.2
7. Run well with Android Gingerbread (API 9)
