Description

For the assembly of flink-dist we copy various batch/streaming examples directly from the respective /target directory.
Never mind that this is already a problem as is (see FLINK-9582), flink-dist defines no dependency on these modules.
If you were to only compile flink-dist with the -am flag (to also build all dependencies) it thus may or may not happen that these modules are actually compiled, which could cause these examples to not be included in the final assembly.
