Hi Matt,

thank you very much for the feedback.

For non-maven projects you would probably need to provide the gmbal
binaries manually. Though we're planning to create bundle modules,
similar to what we have for 1.9.x, which will bundle all the required
classes out of the box.

Very good point. We've discussed this during our yesterday's meeting,
and we will make a refactoring nearest time.

Thanks again!

WBR,
Alexey.
