Sean Busbey commented on ACCUMULO-1494:
---------------------------------------
Two issues:
* a jar command makes it easier for new-comers familiar with hadoop to use
accumulo
* just adding to the classloader doesn't allow the client jar provider to use
the Manifest's mainClass to ease integration
Other than that, updating the docs to suggest the use of the add argument would
work.
> add a "run user jar" command to accumulo start script

> Rather than suggesting users run a client by adding their client jars to

>
> [1.5|http://accumulo.apache.org/1.5/accumulo_user_manual.html#_writing_accumulo_clients])
> we should provide an equivalent to the [hadoop jar

> Like the hadoop jar command, if the jar manifest defines a mainClass, it
> should use it. Otherwise, it should use the command line provided one.
