Hi again,
I should have mentioned that I am using the 1.6.1 incubating release. Well,
the project POM contains:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.jclouds</groupId>
<artifactId>jclouds-all</artifactId>
<version>1.6.1-incubating</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.jclouds.driver</groupId>
<artifactId>jclouds-sshj</artifactId>
<version>1.6.1-incubating</version>
</dependency>
And I do see among the Maven dependencies a bunch of 1.6.1 jar files
including jclouds-all-1.6.1-incubating.jar.
Thanks again.
-Paul
