Chris Egerton commented on KAFKA-15249:
---------------------------------------
[~satish.duggana] the ticket is a reminder to do checks for new artifacts when
we start generating release candidates. It shouldn't be treated as a blocker
for generating release candidates, but it should be treated as a blocker for
giving any of them a +1 vote.
I know this is a little different from what a blocker with a fix version of
x.y.z is usually treated, so if you'd prefer to track this differently
(possibly by adding a note to the release page for 3.6.0?) we can do that
instead.
> Verify Connect test-plugins artifact is published to Maven Central

> Key: KAFKA-15249
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-15249
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: KafkaConnect
> Affects Versions: 3.6.0
> Reporter: Chris Egerton
> Assignee: Chris Egerton
> Priority: Blocker
> Fix For: 3.6.0
>
>
> In KAFKA-14759 we created a separate {{connect/test-plugins}} module to store
> all testing-only Connect plugins and removed those plugins from existing
> Connect modules.
> These testing-only plugins are intentionally excluded from the project's
> release file (which can be generated with {{{}./gradlew releaseTarGz{}}})
> however, some users may still be relying on them for testing environments.
> Although we should refrain from distributing these testing-only plugins with
> our out-of-the-box distribution of Connect, we should still ensure that
> they're available on an opt-in basis to users who would like to continue
> using them. This can be accomplished by publishing them to [Maven
> Central|https://search.maven.org/], like we do with our other modules.
> This will probably happen automatically during the next release (3.6.0) with
> no further action required. This ticket is just here as a reminder to verify
> that the artifacts are present in the staging Maven repo when release
> candidates are published for voting.
