ModeShape has been using a dedicated module - modeshape-client - for packaging a JCR-specific JDBC driver.

The contents of this "package" have changed over time:

• prior to 4.x this not only contained the JDBC-driver logic but also a IRestClient interface used by Eclipse Tooling
• post 4.x and as per https://issues.jboss.org/browse/MODE-888, the IRestClient code and dependencies have been removed

Since the current version of modeshape-client does nothing more other than creating a fat-jar for modeshape-jdbc, there is little point in keeping this module in the project. As such, this should be removed the logic for packaging the JDBC driver should be moved to modeshape-jdbc
