Even Spring doesn't do this. Most Java libraries and frameworks are highly modularized via Maven.
Most complain they are too modularized and want an uber jar.

Actually it really is [1]. You know a valid one that handles edge cases... something a lot of Java libraries do really well... handling edge cases requires complexity.
A sane culture would produce couple of simple libraries solving different requirements. Insane would throw solutions to all the requirements and a kitchen sink into one big ball of mud mega-library.
It's not that hard to write a JSON parser.
