That's true. Maven artifacts are binaries too. My bad. The "binary" I was referring to are the executables, such as installer, which contains quite some executables like CLI, exeample jobs, UI, tracker, etc. The docker image is also part of my "binary".
Basically users can just install and run their jobs without compiling all the tools from source code. Maven artifacts allow users to build their jobs. They still need to compile all the other things in order to run the jobs. I hope it is more clear this time.
