Packaging Java codegen output into a JAR file

Hi team,

Would it be possible to have a flag in java codegen to package the output into a JAR? It would help with dependencies and distribution.

do you mean "precompile it and package it"? in any case, we're not going to do this for the first version, we're going to leave the packaging up to consumers. this is since coming up with an effective and robust way to doing that is going to inevitably depend on the build system of choice. it is something we'll consider in the future though.

Closing this issue as packaging and compiling the codegen output is better left to the build system of the user's choice.
