Okay thanks, Mick.
My SCM Team - that's rich. I am my own SCM team. :-)
Oh well, at least I know what I'm up against.

Maven REPO is only accessed to create deployables. Your SCM team would have
access to the repo to build your production releases only. Nothing else.

I am also trying to think a couple steps ahead, when I go from my simple
client test application to deploying my client inside an existing Tomcat
WebApp which has a completely different mechanism for managing runtime
dependencies. This is why I like to know what I need and why I need it.
But it seems the stars are aligning against my philosophy.
How is a Maven repository typically accessed in a runtime production
environment?

To compile in Maven, you might need to reference all these jars. But you
will not need to deploy all those jars. There are many things behind the
scenes that you don't see that require many other jars than you are used
to.
The more you mes with Maven, the more you will totally fall in love with
everything it is providing. Even if you don't understand it right now.
Once you download those jars, they are local and you do NOT have to
re-download everything each time.

building the source code brings in something like 50 jars. Only three
appear to be needed for compilation, but at runtime, I am adding jar
after
jar to get my code over each succeeding hurdle.
Is this really the way software is developed now? Call me old fashioned,
but I like to know what I'm depending on. It shouldn't require 50 jars
to
run a simple SOAP client. What is the thinking behind this? Must I bite
the bullet, load all this crap, and stop thinking about it?
