Thanks - I missed the step about first locally installing rdf4j and 
rdf4j-storage. I just went straight to packaging rdf4j-tools.

It's the shade plugin in rdf4j-tools/assembly, when compiling the 
onejar, that gave me trouble. It crapped out with a 
NullPointerException, citing that it couldn't find/include the 
rdf4j-client dependency.

I've tried again after running a full local install and that fixes it, 
so all good. However, I am puzzled why it would be necessary. Surely it 
should be able to find all relevant dependencies in the snapshot repo, 
even if I haven't installed them locally?

Cheers,

Jeen
