Hey Sean - I don't quite understand. The only use of the examples project
is to produce the assembly jar for use in distributions, so it seems legitimate
to include them as resources for that project. Putting them in the jar would
not increase the total size of the distribution, it would just relocate them to
being inside of the jar.
The examples jar is not used outside of this context, so embedding more
data in there doesn't matter, from what I can tell. We actually removed
examples from the set of published jars for 1.2. It was sort of weird that we
were publishing it since there is no public API in there and just standalone
programs.
