[jira] [Commented] (KAFKA-259) Give better error message when trying to run shell scripts without having built/downloaded the jars yet

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-259?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13197630#comment-13197630 ] 

Ross Crawford-d'Heureuse commented on KAFKA-259:
------------------------------------------------

as a noob to java/scala I can honestly say that it may be covered in the readme but there is allot of forest in there and not many trees to be seen ;) its just the basics (and probably only form my point of view) :) thanks for your time and effort guys and keep up the great work!
