derek commented on KAFKA-733:
-----------------------------
If there are conflicting zookeeper libs one should probably be removed, either
by removing the checked-in zkclient-20120522.jar or removing/excluding whatever
dep is bringing in zkclient-0.1.jar. I'll take a look at the deps and see if I
can sort that out. As for the main class, setting one in the JAR won't preclude
you from running other main classes from the same jar, it just sets the
Main-Class property in the manifest.
> Fat jar option for build, or override for ivy cache location

> Need some kind of self-contained mechanism for running kafka to get around
> the following:
> 1) The location of the source checkout/build is not necessarily the same
> place where it will be running (the build location and that user's ivy cache
> dir) potentially leading to sync problems (forgetting the ivy dir) or just
> adding overhead to the deployment process (additional steps to remember
> introduces more chances for mistakes)
> 2) The user running the kafka service in a production setting may not even
> have a real home directory
> Think something like a 'fat jar' packaging (something that contains all
> necessary jar versions in one convenient place) would simplify deployment and
> reduce the chance for error (only one lib package to worry about, and it
> contains everything needed) and would be a little more production friendly
