Hello anyone,

We recently ran into something people might not be fully aware of.  
Specifically, because codec jars require META-INF/services files in order to be 
discovered, and each codec  has the same files, it's not a straightforward 
operation to glom all the Lucene jars of interest into one uber-jar, because 
some of this info is lost.  Putting all the dependencies together in one jar is 
one of the few things Maven is really good at, so this is a shame. ;-)

This can be worked around by essentially creating a new 
org.apache.lucene.codecs.PostingFormat file, but that's not an easy operation 
with the build tools people use.

Any suggestions?

Karl
