Github user rmetzger commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/880#issuecomment-118072783 I think the statistics collection pull request has been created before we splitted the `flink-contrib` project into individual submodules. Now contrib is much more fine grained, with the dependencies. Afaik it should be impossible to have a "pom"-type maven module which also contains code?! The quickstart's pom is setting the dependencies for the user correctly. Are the dependencies of "flink-contrib" overwriting the "provided" scope from the quickstart-generated poms? In my understanding, building a quickstart generated project with -P build-jar profile should create the optimal fat jar, containing exactly the classes needed.
