You have to determine what is essential for IGV and what is rather
optional. In some cases there are features which are rarely required for
most uses cases or where you have just one or two classes that depend on
a specific build-dependency. Then it is often sensible to patch the code
instead of starting to package yet another project.

It's your call. Whatever is easier for you. It always boils down to
packaging a new (build-)dependency or patching the code.
