    I think the core of the issue is "supported and maintained" and not
    the "same jar vs. a separate jar". We have these examples of
    technologies that are somewhat tangential to Cayenne:

    * Spring integration is not maintained cause nobody cares to maintain
    it.
    * WebObjects integration is fairly well maintained.
    * DataViews is abandoned (inside Cayenne)

    At the source level I would actually separate each integration piece
    in its own Maven module (if only to have a clear separation of third-
    party dependencies for the build build), and defer a decision of how
    we assemble the release till we actually have those pieces written.
