Having the code around to look into it and making part of your source
are two very different things. While I understand the former, I don't
understand the latter. And given the problem you're now facing I would
advise you to reconsider this.

Ok, so we disagree on what is nightmarish. Although I agree it's not
ideal I find that very easy to deal with (assuming the use of
makefiles).

Not rehashing the complexity aspect of this, which clearly is
subjective, I would, again, advise you to avoid this altogether by
simply using the jars!

Well, I guarantee you it would work. Although I haven't done it for the
full DOM, I've tried it in a very minimal version of it. It works!
