Maven distribution broken #314

I'm raising this as a new ticket but it's already tracked in #234 - this is just in case that one is not being noticed for whatever reason.

The maven distribution is currently broken and cannot be used in the way that your own documentation describes. maven projects must describe their dependencies, and since an artifact is identified by a GAV (not including classifier), you will need to publish two separate artifacts - a regular jar with dependencies and an uber jar without any. see what netty does with shaded and non-shaded versions.
