To my understanding, with a Maven build process it is relatively easy to produce both a
"unmodified" jar which is appropriate for use in Maven projects and a "shaded" jar which could
be appropriate for use in tools / non-Maven-aware projects:

http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-shade-plugin/

This way you can have the best of both worlds.
