Referenced Libraries

The project depends on a set of external libraries. These will automatically be loaded if you install the project via the Maven POM file. They are not part of the official source code. However, they may be included in "fat jars", i.e., the jar archives we create via the Maven Shade Plugin and which hold a "-full" in their name. These jar archive are created for the user's convenience: Using them, no additional libraries need to be put into the classpath.
