You should do that anyway to separate the client/ jars from the server
jars, correct?
Yeah, that was in my thoughts as well. Though for completely standalone
clients (non-container) I actually have a completely separate, single JAR
which contains both the API and implementation, plus helper classes to get
simple instances of things that are normally created and configured in
greater depth and detail by a container deployer.
