Hey all,

Code Freeze has been over for some time, and I have been trying to build an
RC. I have hit a problem trying to build it, hence am reaching out for some
help.

The error I'm getting while running release.py is:

./gradlewAll publish
...
> * What went wrong:
> Execution failed for task 
> ':clients:publishMavenJavaPublicationToMavenRepository'.
> > Failed to publish publication 'mavenJava' to repository 'maven'
>    > Invalid publication 'mavenJava': artifact file does not exist: 
> '/Users/stanislav/Documents/code/kafka-release/.release_work_dir/kafka/clients/build/libs/clients-3.7.0-all.jar'

I think it might be related to https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/14618
I inspected the gradle file thoroughly and even tried debugging locally,
but to no success. The release script itself also creates a clean copy of
the repo, so changing stuff locally doesn't really apply to it (and
probably isn't a good idea)

I spoke to Xavier Leaute a bit and he suggested that we probably need to
have an "afterEvaluate" block which assigns the project's name to the
archivesBaseName, saying that we need that because the shadow plugin
doesn't honor the "kafka-clients" archivesBaseName override.
I could raise a PR that does this if others agree it's the right solution.
I won't lie - this is above my head - so I'm not certain about it. (and a
quick search doesn't show much)

PS: I realize I'm building an RC to run tests against, but it occurred to
me that I haven't inspected any of the integration tests or system tests
for actual failures. I ack integration tests would usually block the CI
build and therefore be caught - but don't we look at the system tests prior
to creating an RC? Or is this something that's done with the RC?

Best,
Stan
