Description

We can make the quickstarts work for IntelliJ, Eclipse, and Maven Jar packaging out of the box, without the need to pass a profile name during jar packaging via the following trick:

• All Flink and Scala dependencies are properly set to provided
• That way, Maven JAR packaging behaves correctly by default
• Eclipse adds 'provided' dependencies to the classpath when running programs, so works out of the box
• There is a profile that automatically activates in IntelliJ that adds the necessary
  dependencies in 'compile' scope to make it run out of the box.
