artsiomau opened a new issue, #21344: URL: https://github.com/apache/pulsar/issues/21344
### Search before asking - [X] I searched in the [issues](https://github.com/apache/pulsar/issues) and found nothing similar. ### Version 3.0.0 ### Minimal reproduce step add the pulsar-client-3.0.0.jar as a dependency, try to create an admin client ### What did you expect to see? no warnings or a warning that reports a reason for method emptyList() to be unavailable ### What did you see instead? java.lang.IllegalAccessError: class com.company.grpc.inventory.Command tried to access method 'com.google.protobuf.LazyStringArrayList com.google.protobuf.LazyStringArrayList.emptyList()' (com.company.grpc.inventory.Command and com.google.protobuf.LazyStringArrayList are in unnamed module of loader 'app’) ### Anything else? I also use dependencies: 1) JavaVersion = '17’ 2) protobufJavaVersion = '3.22.3' 3) grpcJavaVersion = '1.54.2' I think I have this problem because Pulsar uses protobuf version 3.19.6, which the emptyList() method is package private https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/blob/5cba162a5d93f8df786d828621019e03e50edb4f/java/core/src/main/java/com/google/protobuf/LazyStringArrayList.java#L70 They have exposed the method to the public since 3.22.0 [protocolbuffers/protobuf@c658e27](https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/commit/c658e27529ccf4a000724ab3622f1b807c85449b) When I use these dependencies, I don't have this problem: 1) protobufJavaVersion = '3.21.7' 2) grpcJavaVersion = '1.54.2' Do you know about such a bug and in which release it will be fixed? ### Are you willing to submit a PR? - [ ] I'm willing to submit a PR! -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
