["Vlad Rozov (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/APEXCORE-620?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15839111#comment-15839111 ] 

Vlad Rozov commented on APEXCORE-620:
-------------------------------------

What is the proposed mechanism to resolve dependencies? Apex application developer should provide .apa file with all dependencies (except the one that will be provided at run-time) resolved.

> For a project that is built with Gradle to be used in Apex, we must convert our suite of libraries to Maven or resort to:
> apex> launch -ignorepom -libjars x,y,z,...
> Can the launcher simply accept a jar and include all of the dependency jars within it, without requiring a POM or explicit declaration with -libjars?
> As a stop-gap, allowing -libjars to support a directory of dependencies would free us from specifying each one in the launch statement.
> The fat jar support would allow build systems other than Maven to power Apex applications.
