Actually Matthias is just taking about being able to build offline for the binary dist sample modules...the source dist won't have any dependencies included. > > Why don't we meet in the middle ?

If thats the case I might as well just create the huge binary bundle :) I just want to know what the advantages are of providing the ability to build the samples offline the first build (since we're using Maven). I think one of things that we're demonstrating with the samples is how easy it is build AndroMDA apps with Maven (that includes downloading the dependencies for us).
