Description (last modified by jamoore)
It would be nice to remove the 'jars' directory entirely, and have the ability to depend upon specific .jar version from other repositories (i.e. for #11230).

Probably worth a discussion at some point of whether or not this is still something we want to do given the current pervasive usage of Maven.

Getting this dependency question addressed is definitely one of the largest Java requirements in order to get the model properly decoupled.

I think removing jars would be ideal. It bloats the git repository with binaries, and potentially has other problems too.
Fiji had a similar problem with a directory called precompiled with an (in)famous discussion thread: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/fiji-devel/_uSBOxzb9lU. Ultimately, Fiji's move to Maven enabled it to fully ditch this directory.
I would suggest using either Maven or Ivy with external dependency resolution. (Another good option might be git-annex. But really, dependency management becomes a lot easier when your dependencies are actually managed, rather than loosely referenced via Ant build scripts.)
