Originally, the Edgent/Quarks repo had the actual dependent ext jars as =
part of it and the bin release bundle copied them from there.  Kafka was =
a pretty large collection of things, many of which were completely =
unneeded for our use due to the way it was packaged (e.g., its noms =
pulled in a CLI arg handler, junit, ...).  Hence the Edgent repo only =
included the actual needed jars and their needed deps.

When we went to gradle we retained that logical behavior.  The =
connector=E2=80=99s build.gradle describes the exact jars required, =
using the =E2=80=9C@jar=E2=80=9D dependency syntax to exclude transitive =
deps.  There was no expectation/requirement of =E2=80=9Cprovided=E2=80=9D =
on the part of the Edgent consumer.

So that=E2=80=99s the history.  If possible/practical, for now I think =
it best to retain that behavior across the mvn conversion.  Make sense?
