Description

Utility code for oak-segment-tar can be currently accessed only from oak-run or, at least, this is what we recommend to our users.

It is very difficult to detect which version of oak-segment-tar is embedded in oak-run and this can create confusion when users try to run utility code for a specific version of the segment store.

I propose to move utility code related to oak-segment-tar into the bundle itself. It should be possible to run this code from the JAR of oak-segment-tar, without resorting to oak-run. Utility code from oak-segment-tar can still be referenced from and embedded into oak-run, with the usual constraint of the --segment-tar command line option, even if I wouldn't recommend this anymore.
