Description

It would be nice to get transitive deps into a libs dir without having to define a pom.xml first. Here's what I'm doing now.

# Dist includes large dependencies needed by streams and connect: retain only broker and ZK.
# We can do this because broker is independent from both kafka-streams and connect modules.
# See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-10380
