OK, I think I'm finally understanding Maven and what was done to get azurecompute-arm to work.
So, to add additional dependencies, you look here: http://search.maven.org/#artifactdetails%7Corg.apache.jclouds.labs%7Cazurecompute-arm%7C2.0.0%7Cbundle And, to use azurecompute-arm, I add the following: <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.jclouds.labs</groupId> <artifactId>azurecompute-arm</artifactId> <version>2.0.0</version> </dependency> I was completely confused by being directed to the github for the azurecompute-arm as I thought that was an example I should be following.

I'm trying to learn how to run a basic example that I can learn from and build on, but my lack of knowledge of Maven is a pitfall. All the examples use Maven differently which makes it hard to learn from the examples. The other challenge I'm having is that the compute-basics example is very different from the azurecompute-arm example. There are 102 java files which appear to be helper libraries. I'm guessing I need those helper libraries, even for the compute-basics example? Ignasi said "add the azure dependency to its pom.xml". Not knowing Maven or what's required to run computer-basics vs azurecompute-arm, I'm not sure what / how to do that. The dependencies in azurecompute-arm don't refer to anything Azure specific. I tried running the compute-basics example and specifying the provider as azurecompute-arm but got the error that azurecompute-arm isn't an available provider (makes sense because ARM is listed in the documentation as only being available in labs). From what I saw in the azurecompute-arm examples, the pom.xml there uses different groupID and artifactID (and points to ....-labs). So, given the above, I tried copying the parent, artifactID, and properties from the azurecompute-arm pom.xml to the compute-basics pom.xml but mvn install fails: Failed to execute goal org.basepom.maven:duplicate-finder-maven-plugin:1.1.1:check (default) on project azurecompute-arm: Found duplicate classes/resources! -> [Help 1] -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Phillips [mailto:andr...@apache.org] Sent: Thursday, January 5, 2017 9:52 AM To: user@jclouds.apache.org Subject: Re: Example end-to-end walkthrough? > But in the end, like in any Java project, the only thing you need to > use jclouds is your project is to have the jclouds .jar files in your > classpath. Just for the avoidance of doubt: you will need the jclouds JAR files and the JARs for any dependencies needed by the particular jclouds JARs you are using. Retrieving these dependencies is what the Maven dependency plugin's "copy-dependencies" goal is about: https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-dependency-plugin/copy-dependencies-mojo.html To Ignasi's earlier point: if you *do* happen to be looking for a standalone executable that could be used to interact with cloud APIs, the jclouds CLI is one possible option you may want to look at: https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-dependency-plugin/copy-dependencies-mojo.html Regards ap
