Not really. >but it seems like you might be able to do away with the dependencies setup Right now maybe. But there is a huge Arduino Java IDE and I'd rather not depend on icedtea-1.8 and Apache Commons (A,B,C,D,E,F) etcetc to build a 50 line C program for an 8 bit system (which is what one does with Arduino). >and the arduino-installer procedure if the two are built together. The arduino-installer just installs files without any magic. There's no install target otherwise. So the code will always be there (also to install the IDE part).
