It looks like hawtjni could be the problem. It contains a code
generator and a runtime. It's the code-generator that brings in the
xbean->eclipse-rcp chain, not the runtime. So the solution may be to
get the code-generator part of hawtjni package split into a
sub-package so that jansi can depend on only the runtime part and the
code-generator can be a BuildRequires instead.
