Yes, I completely understand that overall use case / need. I’d just like to address it without actually distributing a composite binary bundle :-) Instead I’d like to just give / tell them a way to be able to just easily “get” the jars/deps that we will already be distributing in repos. I definitely don’t want such a user to have to resort to building Edgent just to get their hands on the jars. I'm surprised there isn’t already such a “get-from-repo [—recursive] component-coordinate” tool. — Dale
