Jose Casillas commented on APEXCORE-620: ---------------------------------------- Thank you for looking at this. I'd suggest that Apex with the ignorepom option, auto include all jars inside the apa (or jar file?) as dependencies. A fat jar from the gradle spring boot plugin has a format like this: app class files resource files lib/dependency jars Thanks!
