Attempted answers below:

1. Do we want to keep shading dependencies, or should we include the
dependencies in the pom.xml?
-  From what I can tell, the shading is only configured to explicitly work
with the protobuf package. I don't see any conflicting versions in this
package, so I'm not sure what the reason would be to shade with the
exception of including al the transitive dependencies into a fat jar. ( I
think that is how it shading works). *(a.)*
2. What is classification jar?
- This is an implementation of a javax annotation processor. It's a
developmen tool to help document the code on how and who would be using
interfaces in the Heron api.  *(b.)*
3. We are publishing a Heron API jar (that final artifact), but our
examples are referencing the more immediate streamlet or low-level jars.
Should the examples reference that final jar?
- I think the examples should reference the final artifact jar.
