Hi, I am following the documentation under: https://kafka.apache.org/documentation/#connect_user https://docs.confluent.io/current/connect/userguide.html For testing I am using standalone mode. And I am using kafka_2.12-2.3.1.
So I have defined: plugin.path=/path/to/plugin/dir In file: config/connect-standalone.properties When I run the connect command using: connect-standalone.bat config/connect-standalone.properties /path/to/plugin-connect.properties I get lot of errors like: org.reflections.ReflectionsException: could not get type for name xxx .... Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:xxx However in the logs I do see this entry: INFO Loading plugin from: /path/to/plugin/dir/kafka-connect-plugin-xxx-all.jar (org.apache.kafka.connect.runtime.isolation.DelegatingClassLoader) INFO Reflections took 3801 ms to scan 1 urls, producing 6893 keys and 48017 values [using 8 cores] (org.reflections.Reflections) So looks like plugin go loaded properly, but somehow its jar has not got added to classpath. If I check the plugin uber jar, it has all the classes the connect failed to load. So any idea as I need to do something extra to get the jar also path of classpath. Thanks Sachin
