Description

If I am not mistaken, then Flink won't ship jars when using the application mode because it assumes the jars to be on the classpath. If this is true, then we should make this requirement a bit more prominent in the deployment documentation because currently it is only subtly hinted at.

Alternatively, we could enable Flink to ship the user code jars to its components also when using the application mode.
