I think Sanne has a good point here. The people who are already using
Maven or Ivy are not in need
of a ueber-jar. They (hopefully) already realized that modularized jars
are the better approach.
I am against continuing the support for a hibernate core ueberjar. I am
not sure whether we really need
some sort of substitute.
@Steve, can you explain in more detail how your Ivy approach would look
like?
Regarding the maven archetype plugin. I recommend to stay away from it. I
tried to use it in Validator and
Search and it is just broken. See also

Thinking about generating multiple different artifacts gives me the
shivers.

It could be useful to document what modules are needed for each use
case by providing short descriptions for each jar.
