Description

Why has guava and paranamer been shaded in? This makes this otherwise pretty lightweight library bloated and at least for myself makes it less desirable to re-use over re-implementation.

I get that some folks it may be simpler with a single jar, but in that case a shaded "attached" artifact may be simpler, and leaves those that already have rigid controls over dependencies the flexibility to use the library with-out the shaded inflation.

Research direction

Review the build configuration and published artifacts to identify where Guava and Paranamer are shaded into the library. Compare the current single-jar approach with the proposed separate shaded artifact, then check the issue discussion for maintainer direction. Done requires an agreed dependency-packaging outcome and corresponding artifact behavior.
