I agree. As pointed out already, just bundling the jar file is not
sufficient as you need a java runtime as well. If we bundle it, we also
need to ensure it is updated if/when new jar versions are released. 

Better to clearly document where to get the dependencies and point to
the appropriate installation instructions.

I think we also need to keep in mind that we are currently in a bit of a
transition stage with the move to using ELPA and non-gnu ELPA. There
will be teething problems needing to be worked through both before and
after the transition.
