             Summary: Support Fat Jar without POM, allowing Gradle and other build systems
                 Key: APEXCORE-620
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/APEXCORE-620
             Project: Apache Apex Core
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Jose Casillas


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.
