Uber jars were never needed for maven.
Their only purpose is to be able to add a single dependency in other
build systems that don't already have automatic dependency management.

Wasn't the ability to add a single dependency to a project to
start using Infinispan the whole purpose for the uber jars? I'm not trying to make an
argument for keeping them, because I know they have caused many issues. I just think that
if we are going to remove them from Maven, then there should be a way to achieve the same
easy developer on boarding that uber jars were supposed to provide. Whether this is Maven
project templates, or something else doesn't matter.
Thanks,
Alan
