Yep - I got that wrong. In both cases. It looks like in M3 anyway, geode-dependencies is mostly empty. You'll want geode-core, which has ClientCache and the other client APIs. Sorry about that. Looks like things may have changed over the releases. Also for the final 1.0.0 release, expect the packages to change from com.gemstone.gemfire to org.apache.geode.
