Jay Kreps commented on KAFKA-259:
---------------------------------

This is covered in the README and the releases come with packaged jars. The 
only thing I think we could do better is error out if there are no jars in 
dist, let's change this bug to be about doing that.
                
> Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: kafka/Kafka Caused 
> by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: kafka.Kafka
