Yep I get what you're saying, this is just a different approach. We still use Ivy to manage the dependencies it's just the build step merges our code and all the dependencies together into a single jar instead of delivering a jar and trying to fetch the dependencies at run time.
This project use Ivy for it's deps: http://codegeo.org/fisheye/browse/cwb/GeoNetCWBQuery/trunk/ivy.xml?r=HEAD and proguard to repackage (and in the process shrink the download). Search for proguard in: http://codegeo.org/fisheye/browse/cwb/GeoNetCWBQuery/trunk/build.xml?r=HEAD&content=true Which delivers a single executable (grab the Jar and run jar tf on it) http://codegeo.org/archiva/browse/nz.org.geonet/GeoNetCWBQuery/2.2.2 FWIW docs are here (if you care to download lots of seismic data) http://www.geonet.org.nz/resources/basic-data/waveform-data/index.html It's an approach that has worked very well for us (and the users).
