Hi Bryan,

What is this proposed zip for?  As I understand it, users could use our jars 2 
ways:

1) runtime dependencies on Beehive libraries from a Beehive app (all jars in a 
web app classloaded or a system classloader explicitly)

2) buildtime dependencies (referring to something like netui-compiler.jar at 
build, but not including it in the app)

But both are use cases only for Beehive applications.  What is wrong with 
requiring a Beehive distribution for both cases?

This would be shipped in a file like apache-beehive-lib-[VERSION].zip

It would have all the contents under lib/ in the current distribution as 
well as the NOTICE and LICENSE files.
