[hibernate-dev] How best to eliminate the Javassist dependency from Hibernate applications...

[Scott Marlow]

https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-10536 is for tracking this. 
Please revise as it makes sense.

In the related WildFly dev discussion about $subject, Stuart asked if we 
would have two separate Hibernate ORM jars (one that depends on the 
shaded Javassist and one that depends on regular Javassist).  That seems 
like a separate concern but perhaps others will feel stronger about it.

Also, in the WildFly discussion, I asked whether it makes a difference 
to Hibernate, whether the javassist.util.proxy classes that we want to 
shade, are in the javassist.jar or a new javassist-runtime.jar?  If we 
shade all of the classes in a javassist-runtime.jar, that might be a 
better long term contract, then if we shaded the javassist.util.proxy 
classes which could be renamed over time.  Does it make a difference 
whether we shade the javassist.util.proxy or entire javassist-runtime.jar?

Thanks,
Scott
