Is there a reason, why the fix has not been back ported to 0.8? As you =
said, the fat jar gets very big, but that is still better than empty.

I am in favour of this. Big +1.

1) This is not the first time a user has run into this
2) It makes for a very bad first time experience using the system and =
defeats the purpose of a quickstart
3) It's not a lot of work to get the vote started and the RC would not =
need a lot of testing

I know we are currently voting on the 0.9.0-milestone-1 release, but =
since it is not an official stable release, I can see people sticking to =
0.8. I think we don't even plan to link to the milestone release as the =
primary download.
