I think this is also an area where Maven integration was a small step backwards 
(I greatly appreciate the steps forward it allowed). I used to run stuff from 
the command line and in scripts more often but it's slightly less 
straightforward setting up the classpath with maven -- before you could put a 
simple java -cp lib/*.jar <class name> in a script, now I'm not sure how to go 
about it using maven. I'm sure there's a way, but I am afraid of falling down 
the maven rabbit hole.
