Hello @Chia-Ping Tsai <[email protected]> ! `protected` methods were not published as part of docsJar. But a plugin developer may refer to its signature as part of an overridden method.
I agree with the approach you have taken in https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/21337*discussion_r3574009798__;Iw!!Ayb5sqE7!uAZbLK-06CCOQ5QeCxqo-Z9DIffXzi46m-whE73S5uGoxizobJT0vxXNqsm3VftloRnanaMOmGQNUun9tHhF$ . Should we also update the docsJar task to include protected methods as well ? This should make things more clearer. Cheers, Ashwin
