title: kafka-console-consumer custom deserializer
body: <p>I would like to use my custom <code>value.deserializer</code> when using the kafka-console-consumer command line tool.  Something like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>./kafka-console-consumer --bootstrap-server kafka2:29092 \
                           --property value.deserializer=My.Custom.KafkaDeserializer \
                           --topic TEST
  
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But its unable to find my custom class...</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: My.Custom.KafkaDeserializer</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>How can I reference the appropriate jar file so that the script will recognize it?</p>
