I think you can hack the standard build to depend on the external JAR,
and make that JAR exempt from shading (I think <scope>provided</scope>
does that).

Then, at runtime, you will have two options:
 a) Start JMH with -cp benchmarks.jar:your-jar.jar org.openjdk.jmh.Main
 b) Mix in the external JAR with -Xbootclasspath/a:your-jar.jar -jar
benchmarks.jar (may have some implications on security managers though);

With standard JDK launcher, you would be unable to do *both* -cp and
-jar, so you'll have to resort to either (a) or (b).
