Well, now that you mention it... I hadn't really taken notice of that bit, and was instead thinking of the classpath. I'm not a fan of the "big jar" concept. I much prefer to keep libraries in separate jar's. If a library class gets updated it's only need to update a single library jar, rather than every "big jar" which contains that class.
