If I understand your changes correctly, they create a single "fat" jar. Is that right? My thinking with the assembly approach (and I don't think the two approaches are mutually exclusive) was: - looking towards a formal ASF release where we would want bin and source releases - to make it easier to "plug-in" additional convertors for specific file types. I'm just guessing at requirements at this point. Given where things are right now, I think a single JAR makes most sense. It is much easier to work with during development: (build, use) rather than (build, unpack, use) At the moment the script just sets up the class path. I have no objection to removing the assembly plumbing for now. We can always add it back if we need it.
