OK, that's good to know. Even as recent as the F2F we were talking about deploying components (like alerts) standalone. Which was the whole reason behind the "CDI listener" stuff. But if Metrics is the only standalone component, they can figure out how they want to do that, but all our other components can be assumed to only be running in a full Hawkular environment. That makes some decisions easy. No need to play all these games to get components "pluggable" into the hawkular ecosystem - dual assemblies, or cracking open artifacts and injecting glue code. We can just assume we have dependencies on all the other components and be done with it.
