Kafka Utils wrong classpath: org.apache.kafka.common.utils.Utils

I'm attempting to make a very simple Kafka Producer and am currently following the producer example except my producer does not have a partitioner class.

After exporting required files into a jar I transfer them to my Linux image and try to run it.

I get this exception:

After looking at the kafka jar I see that the utils is its own package now and not located within common.

What would be the best way to solve this issue?

The answer ended up being real silly ... I needed to use the kafka-clients-0.8.2.0.jar instead.
