I am trying to setup schema registry on my windows system, it is failing with the following error message:
Error: Could not find or load main class io.confluent.kafka.schemaregistry.rest.SchemaRegistryMain
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: io.confluent.kafka.schemaregistry.rest.SchemaRegistryMain
Tried a lot to figure out a reason, but feeling completely lost here.
The Schema Registry is not tested with Windows.
This error you are seeing indicates that the CLASSPATH is not configured correctly. Source.
Instead, it is recommended you use a Unix environment, such as WSL2, or Docker.
