I think it's good to provide one jar that contains everything, but I 
think it's also important that we ship an API jar (think JAXP) which can 
be linked against by itself without regard for implementation:

wso2registry-api-1.0-alpha.jar (or alternately s/api/client/)

This contains the Registry interface, any common concrete classes, and 
the ability to bootstrap particular implementations.  I should be able 
to just link against this jar and say:

Registry reg = RegistryFactory.getRegistry();

and have the right thing happen, assuming the real impl has also been 
put in the classpath and configured.  (yes, I still need to commit the 
factory first cut!)
