Too many jar files

The testing instructions include having to create this long CLASSPATH, 
the majority of which are independent locale JAR files.  These files 
also seem to be deliveredas independent files in the release.  Apologies 
for being a newbie, but is there any reason these locale jars can't be 
combined into a single jar?  I checked and as far as I can see all the 
file names are unique across all these jar files.  Is this a space 
concern? 

Thanks,

David
