Github user echarles commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/zeppelin/pull/2637 thx @matyix I had taken logs but don't have them anymore... but I can confirm that in both cases (deps via %spark.dep or via the ui) the command generated by the interpreter.sh is the same and does not contain the `--jar` option. If you have a cluster at hand, you should easily be able to confirm that it does not work via the ui.
