Cool!! :)

The jar is not easily fetchable (it's inside either zips or 
installer-msi:s on phidgets.com site), so you have to edit the path to 
suit your local system. At least AFAIK.

I'll see if I can make the code not depend on it unless needed.
See http://bitbucket.org/marcusl/buildboticon/issues/1/.
(It's just been a while since I was working on Java/Jar packaging, and 
I've never needed lazy jar-loading )

I should probably add some tests too. ;)
