Hi,

While using logstash kafka input/output plugins , i am getting an exception in my logs before logstash starts up. This isi a brief snippet of the error

> Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: javax.mail.internet.AddressException

- I am on RHEL 5.11 version.
- The exception is not critical, but is too long and fills up my console,
- I am sure it is thrown when using the kafka plugin. I used to have a logstash config that read from topbeat and wrote to ealsticsearch. I split it into 2 different configs, one for reading from topbeat and writing to kafka , and the other for reading from kafka and writing to elastic. Both the configs are throwing this exception when starting up. This did not happen when I was reading from topbeat and writing to elastic

Could you please tell me what can be done to fix this?

Below is a brief stacktrace. The entire stacktrace s very long, so I have attached it across the posts and comments

Let me try that,

Even if I upgrade to java8, unless java8 comes bundled with the necessary libs, I doubt it will help
