How is the bin package of confluent kafka built?

[nixonraphy]

I see that the tarball present in http://packages.confluent.io/archive/5.1/confluent-5.1.0-2.11.tar.gz

contains dependency jars arranged in different folder structure ,with dependent jar files distributed according to categories in share/java/ folder

However , when i clone the git of confluent kafka v_5.1 and build the project , all the dependent jar files are present in lib/ folder instead .

Is this because of a different gradle definition ? where can i obtain the gradle file for publishing http://packages.confluent.io/archive/5.1/confluent-5.1.0-2.11.tar.gz ?

bin folder are not libraries for JARs.

If you look at the Kafka, KSQL, or Schema Registry repos instead, you'll see bin folders there.

At the end of each individual project build, those folders are combined, but it's not done by this repo

Thanks for the response . Can you point me to the repo which does the combining of the libraries into separate folders ?

Just plainly mirroring confluent kafka git and building the tarball results in the dependent files or jars to move to lib/ folder instead of share/java/kafka/ directory.

That repo doesn't exist publicly. I believe I also answered you on Stackoverflow in relation to this.
