Christopher Tubbs commented on ACCUMULO-1844:
---------------------------------------------

ACCUMULO-3514 will supersede this issue, because it will remove the string literal class names.

> The Main class, in accumulo-start, references a number of classes to handle the command line arguments to the accumulo shell script.
> However, since start can't depend on the other modules, it must use String representations of these classes.
> This is very brittle and, if those classes move, we have no knowledge of this breakage until runtime.
> We should have something later in the build that will enumerate the arguments to Main to ensure that we don't get a NoClassDefFound error at runtime due to a moved class.
