This is how many people do it. I, for instance, offer the dbjay package using this strategy at http://www.dbjay.com/install.html. On the other hand I don't have any problems with the way Mark offers the binaries of his mm drivers where you just download the jar file and the instructions are available online.

Yes, the jar file contains all of these. Jar just packs them all together in a way that the Java machine can read them. If you run jar vtf mm.mysql-2.0.4-bin.jar it will show you all the files in the jar archive.

Wouldnt a better way to package these files be to compress a README, doc folder, and the jar together as a tar (or whatever) so that when someone downloads and unstuffs they can get to the README and doc without expanding the rest and then move the jar file to where it needs to be to get it going?
