Just chiming in quickly to say if we do need to specify file names in the reference, we should likely fix that.

I'd have to review myself, but my recollection is you are likely correct.  It's been too many years, but I seem to recall pointing out this was brittle as jar names contain versions which change frequently and would result in constantly breaking code that would need to be updated.

If that's the case, it may be worth fixing.
