+BeanUtils now comes packaged (into jars) in two different ways:
+</p>
+<ol>
+ <li>an all-in-one jar (<code>commons-beanutils.jar</code>)</li>
+ <li>and as modular component jars:
+ <ul>
+ <li><code>commons-beanutils-core.jar</code> (core classes)</li>
+ <li><code>commons-beanutils-bean-collections.jar</code>
+ (additional dependency on commons-collections 3.0)</li>
+</ol>
+<p>
+Those who want it all should grab the all-in-one <code>commons-beanutils.jar</code>
+(and remember to add any optional dependencies needed)
+whereas those who need minimal dependencies should use <code>commons-beanutils-core.jar</code>
+plus any optional jars they plan to use.
+</p>
+<p>
+The binary distribution contains all these jars.
