Hi Adaryl, First, it looks like you might be trying to use the old producer interface. That interface is going to be deprecated in favor of the new producer (under org.apache.kafka.clients.producer). I'd highly recommend using the new producer interface instead.
Second, perhaps this repository of examples will be a helpful starting point: https://github.com/confluentinc/examples It's just a few basic examples, but also includes the necessary Maven build scripts. For example, the couple of lines after the highlighted one here: https://github.com/confluentinc/examples/blob/master/producer/pom.xml#L32 will include the necessary jar that includes the new producer. -Ewen On Mon, Nov 16, 2015 at 10:16 PM, Adaryl "Bob" Wakefield, MBA < adaryl.wakefi...@hotmail.com> wrote: > I'm somewhat new to java development and am studying how to write > producers.
