Fat JAR of project #5

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
It's been suggested that we produce and publish a fat JAR of the project, 
including all dependencies, as this is convenient for users who don't use 
Maven.  Not sure where this would be hosted; hasn't Google Code dropped support 
for file hosting?

For such a JAR we'd need to ensure that we're in compliance with the licences 
of all the libraries we package.  For the (L)GPL ones this means providing the 
licence text and source code; for most others it means providing the licence 
text.  In my experience third-party Maven artifacts are often non-compliant 
when it comes to respecting the licence conditions, so we'd need to check them 
all individually and make sure we provide anything that's missing.

The dependency hierarchy of DKPro WSD is huge.  We don't have the resources to 
check all the packages for licence compliance or to provide source code on 
demand for the packages licensed under non-permissive free software licences.
