What is your opinion of Brett Porter's suggestion to merge the two jars? That would certainly get rid of the kludgey circular dependency.
As I said in response to his message, I prefer to keep two JARs so that it is easy to guage the size of the impl, but I not married to this.
Personally, I don't see the circular dependency as that big of a kludge. Logically, they are distinct entities, but for pragmatic reasons they must have some dependencies.
If this really causes difficulties for the build, however, it can certainly be changed.
