With Roller, IIRC, they have a dependency on the user downloading and
installing Hibernate. They did not ship Hibernate with their release.
That's ok, and Roller had a release from the incubator.
From the description of your issue, you want to link and ship the
LGPL binary as part of the Cayenne release bundle. That's not ok.
That's why I suggested it would be ok to ship your own binary and
that you give instructions how the user can link in their downloaded
LGPL binary with yours to produce an executable.
