This was what I was starting to believe, although I was sure it was just me.
That's too bad.  There should be an option to deploy as a JAR - you should
be able to define a JAR file as "internal" to the project and then simply be
able to add packages and/or classes to it.  It should not require an extra
project to deploty a JAR file.

If a large part of my code is stable, it makes sense to JAR it up; every
text on JIT compilers says that the more things are JAR'd the better the
optimization decisions the compiler can make.  This JAR file can still be
local to my project.
