[jira] [Created] (KAFKA-3743) kafka-server-start.sh: Unhelpful error message

Magnus Edenhill created KAFKA-3743:
--------------------------------------

             Summary: kafka-server-start.sh: Unhelpful error message
                 Key: KAFKA-3743
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-3743
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: tools
    Affects Versions: 0.10.0.0
            Reporter: Magnus Edenhill
            Priority: Minor


When trying to start Kafka from an uncompiled source tarball rather than the binary the kafka-server-start.sh command gives a mystical error message:

```
$ bin/kafka-server-start.sh config/server.properties 
Error: Could not find or load main class config.server.properties

```

This could probably be improved to say something closer to the truth.

This is on 0.10.0.0-rc6 tarball from github.
