Sean Owen commented on MAHOUT-874:
----------------------------------
Separating out a few classes won't change what they depend on, and won't cause
you to need any more or fewer classes at runtime. Your jar hell is the same.
Is the issue Maven packaging all the transitive dependencies? If that's your
issue then again, a run through Proguard (with properly configured entry
points) will strip out not just the Mahout code you don't use but anything else
you don't use. I think that is maybe the better solution to the particular
issue you face? these things otherwise seem pretty "core" and live where they
should live for the general user.
