Remove binary files from history

[Databean]

As of #42, the binary files in the repository are unused, and only clutter the history. Removing them will make the JavaMOP repository much faster to download.

I believe the last of these binary files was removes as part of this commit on the master branch. Please reopen if you think this has not been properly addressed.

This isn't what Cody actually had in mind, and won't be sufficient to decrease the download size. Git downloads the entire history of the project, so it will actually still download all the binaries you checked in in order to satisfy old versions even though you have since deleted them. You need to run the repo through a history refactoring tool like BFG.

Thanks for the clarification. I compeletely misunderstood :)

I'll investigate BFG and try to clear up the history.

If the only benefit we get from this is a smaller JavaMOP repo download at the expense of breaking the integrity of the history, then I'd say it is not a priority. We have lots of other more serious problems to fix in JavaMOP. And once we have the installer in place, hopefully very soon, we will give people a small binary to download anyway, so size is not going to be a problem. Those very very very few users who will still want to download the code base, can afford to spend 10 more seconds. Anyway, my point is: let's do the urgent things first, without getting distracted by minor issues.
