This strongly depend on what kind of project you are working on. maven is vastly different from non-maven projects. — Thorbjørn Ravn Andersen, Apr 28 '14 at 16:30

Because same class implementation could be packaged differently, you could find it on more jar. You have also to ensure that each class was included only once time, to prevent "no class found error".
