Can remove:

Please note: Amazon Kinesis is currently in private beta. Being on the Kinesis private beta is a pre-requisite to building and running this project.

And:

Now manually copy the relevant jar from your Amazon Kinesis SDK Preview:

$ cd kinesis-example-scala-producer $ cp ~/downloads/AmazonKinesisSDK-preview/aws-java-sdk-1.6.4/lib/aws-java-sdk-1.6.4.jar lib/ $ sbt assembly

Hi Alex, should we keep FAQ and Roadmap? Also, just curious, does this say to use sbt assembly then java -jar rather than sbt run to avoid sbt overhead, or is there another reason?

alexanderdean commented 10 years ago

Ah right - do remove FAQ and Roadmap by all means.

The suggestions around assembly and java -jar are so that people can turn these into deployable fat jars and run them on a server without sbt - but I agree, that doesn't make a whole lot of sense for 'test' apps like these.

I think it would make total sense to remove these instructions and revert to sbt run. (Whereas for an actual app like the Scala Stream Collector, making a fatjar for deployment does make a lot of sense)...

Changed, and I've left the sbt assembly dependency just in case somebody still wants it. Let me know if there's anything else on the README!

alexanderdean commented 10 years ago

Nice one. Good idea keeping the sbt-assembly dep as someone may want to fork and evolve this into their own app, then they have the sbt-assembly ready to use...
