The commit does two things:
* Adds the default data classes to the examples package from the
flink-java-examples packages
* Also creates separate jars for the examples
I suppose both makes it more convenient for the users to try out the
programs on the cluster. Currently to see a scala example performing on the
cluster you would have to add the flink-java-examples (as it is not in the lib
of the distro) to the classpath and of course also provide the desired main
class.
I would not say that this is difficult, just the option I'm providing is
more user friendly.
