Hi Damian, Thanks for running the release.
I tried building from source and running the quick start on Linux & Windows with both Java 8 & 9. Here's the result: +-----------------+---------+---------+ | | Linux | Windows | + +---------+---------+ | | J8 | J9 | J8 | J9 | +-----------------+----+----+----+----+ | Build | + | + | + | + | +-----------------+----+----+----+----+ | Single broker | + | + | + | + | | produce/consume | | | | | +-----------------+----+----+----+----+ | Connect | + | ? | - | - | +-----------------+----+----+----+----+ | Streams | + | + | + | + | +-----------------+----+----+----+----+ ?: Connect quickstart on Linux with Java 9 runs but the connect tool throws a bunch of exceptions (https://www.codepile.net/pile/yVg8XJB8) -: Connect quickstart on Windows fails (Java 8: https://www.codepile.net/pile/xJGra6BP, Java 9: https://www.codepile.net/pile/oREYeORK) Given that Windows is not an officially supported platform, and the exceptions with Linux/Java 9 are not breaking the functionality, my vote is a +1 (non-binding).
