Provide a connector that uses an external neo4j JAR

[Riduidel]

When using Glassfish (as an example), one can install domain JAR both in applications (be them connectors, ears, and so on) or in domain lib folder, in which case those jars are considered available for all application in domain.

The application I'm working on use some code from that lib folder (namely the neo4j custom auth realm we wrote using this connector) which pushes us (due to ClassLoader stacking) to put in that lib dir both the connector jars and the neo4j jars.

To avoid jars duplication, could it be possible to have a RAR that only include the XML declaration and no code ? (this question is in fact dual : is it possible to do so and, if so, how)

Oh crap : I clearly didn't understood how neo4j-connector work.
In fact, when invoking the maven-shade-plugin in neo4j-connector-impl, a jar is generated which contains both connector classes and neo4j ones. As a consequence, when this shaded jar is used, there is absolutely no need for the neo4j distribution ones.
Or am I again wrong ?
