Why exactly would one want to generate the "examples" jar? I get the use case for us of wanting to make sure they build, but for people wanting to use them as reference it would seem a self-contained build might be a little easier to work with. Setting it up the way it is now also makes it easy to test against prior releases. Also, the self contained build is faster.
