Start connect failed with class not found about kafka-connect-spooldir

Hi @datafibers!

Sorry about the issue. Did you download just the .jar or did you use the tar.gz? I need to remove the .jar from the releases since it only the output. I checked the .tar.gz and it does have opencsv-3.8.jar in the output. Can you confirm you have this in your classpath?

I ran into this issue as well, however, I resolved it by copying opencsv-3.8.jar and connect-utils-0.1.15.jar to the classpath as @jcustenborder had suggested. I think you can close this issue.

@gregroberti how are you deploying this? Are you building locally or are you using the installation package I upload? If you are building locally, use mvn clean package and copy contents of target//kafka-connect-spooldir-1.0-SNAPSHOT-package. It will contain everything.

[gregroberti]

Yes, I'm building it locally with mvn clean package to run in a docker container. I found that I only need the following lines in my Dockerfile:

COPY kafka-connect-spooldir-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar /etc/kafka-connect/jars
COPY opencsv-3.8.jar /etc/kafka-connect/jars
COPY connect-utils-0.1.15.jar /etc/kafka-connect/jars

For some reason I found that I didn't need the other jar files produced in the target directory.
