Noted. It should be easy to include the pre-built SA along with some notice on how to deploy them.

It seems to me that Maven is not all glory, though it has some nice features, I'm sure. However it seems to make for more brittle builds since the builds are depending on external resources being available and downlaoded. Besides the fact that you might not always be connected. There might be ways around this I guess, to "disconnect" maven from attempting to download new jars. Anyways I think it would be a very good thing if the release is not dependent on maven for building the examples. It would probably be best if they were included pre-built.
