But in the end, like in any Java project, the only thing you
need to use jclouds is your project is to have the jclouds .jar
files in your classpath.
Just for the avoidance of doubt: you will need the jclouds JAR files and
the JARs for any dependencies needed by the particular jclouds JARs you
are using.
Retrieving these dependencies is what the Maven dependency plugin's
"copy-dependencies" goal is about:

To Ignasi's earlier point: if you *do* happen to be looking for a
standalone executable that could be used to interact with cloud APIs,
the jclouds CLI is one possible option you may want to look at:
