 * For a full example of a Flink Streaming Job, see the SocketTextStreamWordCount.java

 * You can also generate a .jar file that you can submit on your Flink
 * cluster.
 * Just type
 * 		mvn clean package
 * in the projects root directory.
 * You will find the jar in
 * 		target/flink-java-project-0.1.jar
 * From the CLI you can then run
 * 		./bin/flink run -c org.apache.flink.quickstart.StreamingJob target/flink-java-project-0.1.jar

 * For more information on the CLI see:
