Single file library

Isn't it kind of an anti-pattern to include libraries as sources? As to why I think it couldn't be one file, AsyncReaderRecorder and PowerShell are very different classes and wouldn't fit well together.

It might be an anti-pattern indeed.

My purpose is to follow a zero-dependency policy in my libraries.
Therefore I need to repackage the dependencies of my libraries.

I've tried maven shade plugin. This plugin relocates dependencies by modifiying byte code directly. Unfortunatly, it doesn't repackage module-info classes (JPMS).

The second solution I've found so far is to to automate source extraction of dependecies to a second source directory before the compilation of all the source code (lib + dependencies). Having a single source file eases this.

AsyncReaderRecorder and PowerShell are indeed very different classes. My guess is that AsyncReaderRecorder could be moved into PowerShell as a private class if it has no use outside of the library itself.

Ok, I see. Your use case is quite special. Unfortunately I have no interest in changing the architecture of this library, as it fits most use cases just fine. The best solution would probably be to include all 3 files as source. Or I guess you could create something that packs everything into one class as inner classes.
