Hello.

I have not moved to maven, but stopped to use the fat cayenne.jar as I had some conflicting jar-files. I guess the fat jar is good for quick-start for simple projects. Sooner or later most people will probably want to have control over this in the project.

I do not care if we keep it or drop it.

I am considering whether we should stop shipping the "fat" cayenne.jar in 3.0 (would've been called cayenne-server-deps.jar according to the new naming convention). The original motivation for it goes back to the days when full CLASSPATH had to be specified when running "javac" and "java" from command line. So it saved quite a bit of typing. With Ant, Eclipse and war format this seems obsolete. Instead I thought we might include a minimal set of runtime dependencies in the "lib/third-party" folder.

Anybody thinks it is a bad idea to get rid of the fat jar?
