Well, there were a few things which needed fixing the last time I checked.  
Nothing major, but
still. Obviously a faster, less coding intensive approach would be the  
uberjar.
Just wanted to throw the idea out there :-)

There we have a much tighter coupling. Getting rid of the dependency  
completely would be very hard.
I think an uberjar approach makes sense in this case
