Jay Kreps commented on KAFKA-259:
---------------------------------
Yeah, I didn't mean that in a snotty way, just that if we version control the
jars the java people get all sulky and complain that we aren't using maven to
download them, but if we do that then the non-maven people are unhappy because
nothing works.
> Give better error message when trying to run shell scripts without having
> built/downloaded the jars yet
