Thanks for the replies. Apologies for the n00b questions that follow…from what
I've read, is my understanding below correct:
* Pom.xml is used by mvm to download the necessary jclouds binaries?
* http://jclouds.apache.org/start/install/
* Mvn dependency:copy-dependencies
* Maybe it’s just is an mvn / java ‘preference’ (which I don’t have a
lot of experience with) but there doesn't seem to be consistency in the
examples for how this should 'run'.
* The compute basics example:
https://github.com/jclouds/jclouds-examples/tree/master/compute-basics
* Says to run mvn install and then java -jar … and never mentions
running mvn dependency:copy-dependencies
* The Azure ARM example:
https://github.com/jclouds/jclouds-labs/tree/master/azurecompute-arm
* Says to run mvn -DTest … DTest isn’t in the Maven documentation:
*
https://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-the-lifecycle.html#Lifecycle_Reference
* Why would mvn install be needed in the compute basics but not
the Azure ARM example?
* Once Pom.xml is ‘processed’ by mvn, I can build a .jar file that uses the
jclouds API’s?
* http://jclouds.apache.org/start/compute/
* Java -jar …
* Again, maybe this is just an mvn / Java preference but why doesn’t the
Azure ARM example show this? Instead it just shows mvn
Thank you,

Trying to understand the compute basics examples is one of the better ways to
get started with jclouds.
There are two different Azure providers in jclouds:
* The "azurecompute" one uses the old Azure API.
* The "azurecompute-arm" uses the new ARM API.
You'll need to add the "org.apache.jclouds.labs/azurecompute" or
"org.apache.jclouds.labs/azurecompute-arm" dependencies to your project in
order to use them.
In the README for the azurecompute-arm provider you will find the instructions
to create an Application in your subscription for
jclouds:
