Robin Van Praet created KAFKA-7490:
--------------------------------------
Summary: Kafka libraries should have a valid module name
Key: KAFKA-7490
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-7490
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Robin Van Praet
Currently when running an application on Java's module path it is impossible to
have kafka as an automatic module.
For example:
{code:java}
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.kafka</groupId>
<artifactId>kafka_2.12</artifactId>
<version>2.0.0</version>
</dependency>
{code}
Will result in file kafka_2.12-2.0.0.jar
The rules for Automatic module naming are:
* use 'Automatic-Module-Name' value in the Manifest file as value when present
* convert the jar filename to a module name by stripping the version and
converting some characters to a dot.
There is no 'Automatic-Module-Name' value in the Manifest so the jar filename
is used. However it will be converted to kafka.2.12 as module name which is not
a valid module name.
Please provide a 'Automatic-Module-Name' value in the Manifest file for all
deliverables
