Jim, accumulo-start is a provided dependency for all of the other versions. So when you list accumulo-server as a dependency, it does not pull in the provided dependencies.
This is sort of what I was getting at before, Chris. The provided jars don't get pulled in/referenced when they are marked as provided. For external dependencies, that totally makes sense. But I don't know why we need to mark other accumulo parts as provided. I find it difficult to believe that that is a standard maven configuration. It is extremely painful for downstream clients.
