If you send me the list of dependencies that the Kafka jar has, I could help 
out.

From the test project I created, it looks like kafka-0.7.0.jar depends on:

- scala-library.jar
- zkclient.jar

So for Java users (who'd care about being able to pull kafka from a repo) are 
there any other dependencies?

Thanks,
