which describe our use of aggregation jars.
It is, of course, focused on the wonderful advantages that these offer.
It may have prompted the discussion that you recall so this might give
you a time-frame to narrow your search.
I may be wrong but I think that Stephen Connolly and Wayne Fay raised
some issues with the approach. The word "anti-pattern" may have come up.:-)
Perhaps this will jog some memories.

I seem to recall a post in the not too distant past where is was at

an anti-practice. Unfortunately I can't find it now and my google-fu
is failing me.
Am I making this up? Can anyone confirm my recollection?
Is there a best-practice recommendation re. uber jars that is
generally recognized in the Maven community?
