Hello, I'm just getting started ramping up with kafka (pretty cool so far).
I wasn't able to find a public repo for the kafka jars (and in looking back at the archives for this list, it seems that this question comes up from time to time). Are there any plans to make kafka integrate better with maven, via a public repo? I was able to generate a pom.xml, using "./sbt make-pom". And then upload the pom and the jar to our nexus repo, etc. So that's a stop-gap solution (albeit cumbersome). I am curious, why does the generated pom have a groupId of "kafka" and an artifactId of "kafka-core_2.8.0". (what's the 2.8.0 for?). Traditionally, apache projects have maven group ids like "org.apache.kafka" and artifactId like "kafka-core". Thoughts? Jason
