Ganesh Sadanala deleted comment on KAFKA-15203:
-----------------------------------------
was (Author: JIRAUSER305566):
I still don't understand one point here: I observe that
`Plugins.initLoader(...)` method is using both `ReflectionScanner` and
`ServiceLoader` to load all plugins.
The use case is to completely transition this to `ServiceLoader`.
[~gharris1727] Is `ReflectionScanner` still needed here?
Note: We can keep it as it is inside the ConnectPluginPath for the sake of
script run.

> We currently depend on reflections library which is EOL. Quoting from the
> GitHub site:
> _> Please note: Reflections library is currently NOT under active development
> or maintenance_
>
> This poses a supply chain risk for our project where the security fixes and
> other major bugs in underlying dependency may not be addressed timely.
> Hence, we should plan to remove this dependency.
