[JAR] Use proper git storage for binaries

[lcacciagioni]

Problem or use case

As part of the source code there seems to be several binary files, like *.jar files, for which git has pretty poor capabilities of tracking.

Preferred solution or suggestions

As part of the solution it would be advisable to probably track this binary files with something like git lfs which might be better for tracking this kind of files since its creation was with this intention.

Good idea but Github Git LFS cost money. 50 GB bandwidth cost $5

Wow, didn't knew that one... Long time user of GitLab here... Then probably another alternative can be a gradle process that downloads the jar at assemble time as if it where a dependency, and then the release of this jars can be hosted even as a GitHub Package for JDK or an S3 bucket or whatever public hosting solution you use this days.

This is not an issue. In the long-run we will get rid of these jar tools anyways.
