Hi, According to the GitHub page, "Kafka requires Gradle 2.0 or higher.". However, when I try to build Kafka using Gradle 2.7, it doesn't work because of the com.github.johnrengelman.shadow plugin which in the version used by Kafka requires Gradle 3.0+. There seems to be already a JIRA for it: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-5895
I was wondering if supporting only Gradle 3.0 and higher is intentional and the bug is in the README file on GitHub or if it is a bug in the Gradle build and the intention is to continue support Gradle 2.0+. Could someone help to clarify this? Thanks & Regards Jakub
