[josm-dev] Publishing a plugin with external dependency

[M S]

I have written a plugin displaying GeoTiff images in JOSM and am thinking
about publishing it.
But since it depends on JNI bindings to GDAL/OGR (http://gdal.org) I am
slightly confused what the best way would be to do that.
Should I bundle just the Java part with the plugin and rely on the user to
get the right native jars?
Only set the class path in the manifest and bundle nothing? Maybe even
download the correct version if it not already present?

The code resides on github for now:

Any advice welcome.
