Description

By using the "maven-assembly-plugin" with the "jar-with-dependencies" descriptor, we can ensure that the user's dependencies are always bundled into the jar file of the user's job.
We may have to define some exclusion rules to avoid flink dependencies being packed as well (jar size) but that should be doable.
