+1 I would at least like to have one downloadable jar for each algorithm 
family (why would I as a user want to download the functionality for 
translating texts, if all I want to do is build a better spam classification 
plugin for spam assassin?) plus one library for the common code like input-/ 
output-filters.

Maybe we should look at other machine learning frameworks that followed 
the "all in one jar" path to get a feeling on how large a project can easily 
get. Please be careful with these numbers, as both projects are trying to 
provide whole machine learning frameworks with GUIs for experimentation, 
algorithms for evaluation and the like.
