You need to trigger the download of the dependencies. I just build from the commandline; "mvn install" But if you don't have Maven installed, I think there is a "Download Dependencies" in the IntelliJ's Maven tab for the project, OR in the Maven Project Settings dialogs. I don't do this regularly, so perhaps someone can fill in the details. > I'm also curious to know the status of the core module and of the > project as a whole.

We should be releasing 0.7 somewhere in April, and my personal guess is that a stable 1.0 will not be released until earliest(!) Aug, maybe later. We have a general principle of letting things take the time it takes, and make the changes we feel are right, even though they break the compatibility (which will become extremely strict in post-1.0). That said; Core API is getting fairly stable and I don't forsee (but you never know) any large changes to that. Some additions may show up. We are still not happy with SPI, UnitOfWork et al, and likely there will be big changes, but shouldn't affect client code much. The Bootstrap/Assembly just got a recent nice overhaul, and but I think there might be additional things on that front too. The Core Runtime is completely protected and not accessible to client code nor extensions.
