Hello Ian, just a workaround I used in the interim: I downloaded the tar’ed sources from here https://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi?path=/kafka/0.8.1/kafka-0.8.1-src.tgz
(I use Intellij) When I try to open the definition of a Kafka object that it doesn’t have sources for, there is a button that says “attach sources,” which allows me to navigate to the directory where I unpacked the sources I downloaded. Hope that helps, - Baran On Mar 19, 2014, at 12:45 PM, Ian Friedman <i...@flurry.com> wrote: > Hey guys, I am wondering why there is no sources jar in maven for kafka > 0.8.1?
