> Also deployments don't make use of dependencies, a single uberjar bundles it all up. That's not actually completely right... there are problems with deploying a single jar. With Java 9 modules, you're actually throwing away module encapsulation if you deploy a uberjar. The current state-of-the-art is to deploy the whole app + the JVM in a jlink image, which requires no uber jar.
