Hmm...this is kinda a bigger issue - should our assembly contain all
the files for the frameworks that the plugin provides support for?  We
don't include every Spring jar or a JSF framework with our JSF plugin.
 I'd lean towards not including jars we don't have to - our downloads
are big enough (some would say 100 megs for a web framework with 2
real dependencies is a bit overkill).

I had thought they were included in the jars, but looking at them
again, I see the size increase isn't large enough.  I'll put those
back in.

Fair enough, I guess we prefer different approaches here.  Since the
assembly didn't work before, it is hard to compare, but I pulled down
2.0.11 so I'll use that.  Still, as it sits now, even our slimmed down
lib zip is 59 megs, so I think we need to get serious about cutting
the fat.
