    While I like the _idea_ of the single jars, it does make split install
    more annoying. Right now I can setup WebServerResource symlinks back
    into my woa and embedded frameworks that "automatically update" when I
    deploy the latest woa, which is really handy. With jar builds, you
    have to explicitly do a two step deployment every time. This is
    actually why I haven't jumped on the bandwagon of jar frameworks yet.
