Big big +1 ... I strongly feel we need to reduce the number of Jars and actually tried to voice it few times before.
To me, axis2-core.jar and axis2-optional.jar is enough for axis2 jars. Of course we can keep the modules as it is and build two jars while creating the distribution. We can even build the old list of jars and put them to maven repositories. But for releases two jars should be enough. I am pretty confident no user would going to figure out which jars among our list of jars are needed for a given use case. It seems .. even Axis2 developers are losing tack of them now.
