It might be worth noting that we have an open improvement filed (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-22 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-22>) to create a geode artifact that will bring in geode-core, geode-cq, geode-json etc to make it simpler for a user to get started in the future.
