xbean-finder is already split into a common library, just it is part

there is no difference.
The reason we want to copy the code over has less to do with the
project's stability but the desire to have fewer dependencies.

How about talking to the author about splitting it into a commons library?
This would give the usual benefits of propogating bug fixes and avoid
duplicate work on divergent code bases.

oops.
Personally, I favor copying the code over and jarjar'ing the asm
dependency.
Two quick questions:
"jarjar'ing" the dependency? What does that mean? I hope I'm not the only one
who isn't hip to the lingo! I guess if I knew the context better I could work it
out.
Secondly, I was wondering about the advantages of having fewer dependencies,
especially in this maven era. If something's really great, it's fine to depend
on it, surely?
