Github user StephanEwen commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/880#issuecomment-117981390 This is an interesting case. In theory, dependencies should be provided, such that building a fat-jar does not take them into account. However, when running examples out of IntelliJ, it does not work if the dependency is in "provided", as the dependency is not added to the classpath in that case. In the examples, we hence add them as "compile" scope dependencies. The storm compatibility layer could follow a rule, though. @mjsax Can you comment?
