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

[Galder Zamarreno]

Paul,

How do you expect people to use that client pom.xml? Have some kind of 
remote dependency on that client pom.xml once it's up in the maven 
repository or retrieve it from the source repo? If you want people to 
try it out, we could do with some clearer guidance on how to use it.

Cheers,
