Jeremy Norris commented on KAFKA-16359:
---------------------------------------
It's broken because users that attempt to utilize {{kafka-clients-3.7.0.jar}}
as a dependency in their projects will generate spurious compiler warnings for
something that isn't a defect in their code.
And if they also utilize the {{-Werror}} compiler option to promote compiler
warnings into errors (as some users are want to do if they enforce cleanliness
in their code), their projects & CI pipelines will fail.
Bottom line: users should not have to adjust compiler settings in order to
consume the artifact.
> kafka-clients-3.7.0.jar published to Maven Central is defective

> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: clients
> Affects Versions: 3.7.0
> Reporter: Jeremy Norris
> Assignee: Apoorv Mittal
> Priority: Critical
>
> The {{kafka-clients-3.7.0.jar}} that has been published to Maven Central is
> defective: it's {{META-INF/MANIFEST.MF}} bogusly include a {{Class-Path}}
> element:
> {code}
> Manifest-Version: 1.0
> Class-Path: zstd-jni-1.5.5-6.jar lz4-java-1.8.0.jar snappy-java-1.1.10
> .5.jar slf4j-api-1.7.36.jar
> {code}
> This bogus {{Class-Path}} element leads to compiler warnings for projects
> that utilize it as a dependency:
> {code}
> [WARNING] [path] bad path element
> ".../.m2/repository/org/apache/kafka/kafka-clients/3.7.0/zstd-jni-1.5.5-6.jar":
> no such file or directory
> [WARNING] [path] bad path element
> ".../.m2/repository/org/apache/kafka/kafka-clients/3.7.0/lz4-java-1.8.0.jar":
> no such file or directory
> [WARNING] [path] bad path element
> ".../.m2/repository/org/apache/kafka/kafka-clients/3.7.0/snappy-java-1.1.10.5.jar":
> no such file or directory
> [WARNING] [path] bad path element
> ".../.m2/repository/org/apache/kafka/kafka-clients/3.7.0/slf4j-api-1.7.36.jar":
> no such file or directory
> {code}
> Either the {{kafka-clients-3.7.0.jar}} needs to be respun and published
> without the bogus {{Class-Path}} element in it's {{META-INF/MANIFEST.MF}} or
> a new release should be published that corrects this defect.
