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 -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
