You'll just need geode-dependencies.jar on your classpath for the client. You can use the references found here as an example of configuring Maven or Gradle. http://geode.incubator.apache.org/releases/
Instead of referencing geode-core, you'll reference geode-dependencies as the artifact id. The Maven repo is the Apache one at: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/incubator/geode/ On Mon, Oct 24, 2016 at 6:39 PM, John D.
