-------------------------------------

             Summary: kafka-clients-3.7.0.jar published to Maven Central is defective
                 Key: KAFKA-16359
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-16359
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: clients
    Affects Versions: 3.7.0
            Reporter: Jeremy Norris


The {{kafka-clients-3.7.0.jar}} that has been published to Maven Central is defective: it's {{META-INF/MANIFEST.MF}} bogusly include a {{Class-Path}} element:
{code}
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Class-Path: zstd-jni-1.5.5-6.jar lz4-java-1.8.0.jar snappy-java-1.1.10
.5.jar slf4j-api-1.7.36.jar
{code}

This bogus {{Class-Path}} element leads to compiler warnings for projects that utilize it as a dependency:
{code}
[WARNING] [path] bad path element ".../.m2/repository/org/apache/kafka/kafka-clients/3.7.0/zstd-jni-1.5.5-6.jar": no such file or directory
[WARNING] [path] bad path element ".../.m2/repository/org/apache/kafka/kafka-clients/3.7.0/lz4-java-1.8.0.jar": no such file or directory
[WARNING] [path] bad path element ".../.m2/repository/org/apache/kafka/kafka-clients/3.7.0/snappy-java-1.1.10.5.jar": no such file or directory
[WARNING] [path] bad path element ".../.m2/repository/org/apache/kafka/kafka-clients/3.7.0/slf4j-api-1.7.36.jar": no such file or directory
{code}

Either the {{kafka-clients-3.7.0.jar}} needs to be respun and published without the bogus {{Class-Path}} element in it's {{META-INF/MANIFEST.MF}} or a new release should be published that corrects this defect.
