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.
