although I'm a bit concerned a bit type-safety

I would in this case sacrifice the type-safety for the benefit of a single (non shaded) jar. Given the issues you sometimes have with integrating an AP in an IDE, the simpler is really the better.

On the other hand the BV API doesn't change that frequently.

Right. Give it a go. I was initially also a little concerned about dropping the JPA dependency for the metamodelgen generator, but in the end I was pleased with the result. :-)

> When configuring the annotation processor in IDEs it's classpath has to be specified. In IDEs like Netbeans or IntelliJ the annotation processor can use the project classpath. But it's better if the classpath of project and annotation processor are isolated.
> In that case people shall setup manually the annotation processor classpath which has to contain at least HV and BV dependency. As Gunnar said it would be usefull to simplify the annotation processor configuration in IDEs by providing a shaded jar.
