@pwendell Sure, I agree that the size isn't a big deal, and there's not
really a case where you would use the distribution without the examples .jar.
Forget the size issue.
Really it is that none of the code would read the data files from
`src/main/resources`, nor would any of the examples as given in their
documentation. They all refer to `data/`, which is where the files are in the
source tree and in the source distribution. This makes the binary distribution
consistent with those, and with all the documented examples.
If there's interest, of course I can make another PR to move these files
and update all the docs to look for `examples/src/main/resources/...` Heck
you could even write the examples to look for the data files within the .jar
instead.
