Just let move it to a shared module and move from there. On my side I'm more than fine dropping `isAddedToClasspath` is maven 4 API, it does not make much sense with your PR (:tada:). > THAT is totally and utterly off topic for this PR fine with that while it does not end in any release, can be done after while only snapshots for me -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
