A little different idea: How about creating plugin for Maven that will repackage all libraries defined as dependency into one jar? (note problem with MANIFEST file here).

Nobody is talking about eliminating the individual releases. The question is whether or not we should offer an *additional* combination package of some sort, and what it should contain. One can certainly extend the concept recursively beyond Jakarta Commons, but something like this is going to a
