Re: [jboss-dev] jbossall-client.jar now references external libs

Since there seems to be a lot of demand for this, I'm going to create a new directory in the app server called "client". And this will contain a pom that lists all the jars that are currently in the all-client jar manifest. This will be deployed to our repository with the release, so it should be usable from maven or ivy.
