Hi all, With the recent release of scala 2.12 the community has been working toward getting libraries released as 2.12 compiled binaries. Although Kafka isn’t a typical development library the scalatest-embedded-kafka project (https://github.com/manub/scalatest-embedded-kafka <https://github.com/manub/scalatest-embedded-kafka>) has a dependency on the scala kafka module in order to stand up a Kafka instance for testing. This test library is used by reactive-kafka (https://github.com/akka/reactive-kafka <https://github.com/akka/reactive-kafka>) to allow testing of the client library against the kafka server. As a result to publish reactive-kafka built with 2.12 we need a release of both kafka and scalatest-embedded-kafka built with 2.12.
The necessary changes have now been merged to the kafka repo on trunk (commit f3aad3b54b7cbc5109d8398829a31100fd82b3e0) so the build with '-PscalaVersion=2.12’ with JDK8 will now build with scala 2.12. However as I understand it the next release from trunk for Kafka (0.10.2.0) will be a time based release around the end of January so it would be great if we could get this change back ported to the 0.10.1 branch and released as a patch version so as to get the downstream projects migrated before then. Building the original 0.10.1.0 artifacts with this change would be fine but it may be easier to release a 0.10.1.1 version. cheers, bern
