I’m trying execute this command from this tutorial:  
[https://docs.confluent.io/platform/current/tutorials/examples/clients/docs/java.html](https://docs.confluent.io/platform/current/tutorials/examples/clients/docs/java.html)

```auto
mvn exec:java -Dexec.mainClass="io.confluent.examples.clients.cloud.ProducerAvroExample" -Dexec.args="$HOME/.confluent/java.config test2"

```

And return this error:

```auto
Caused by: org.apache.kafka.common.KafkaException: Failed to create new KafkaAdminClient
    at org.apache.kafka.clients.admin.KafkaAdminClient.createInternal (KafkaAdminClient.java:537)

```

Could you please advice how to solve this error?  
Thanks in advance!

@davidleongz Welcome to the forum.

This exception is thrown when the Jaas configuration cannot be properly parsed ([kafka source](https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/7c29c5013dd16597727ea5483c89b60b2b517bde/clients/src/main/java/org/apache/kafka/common/security/JaasConfig.java#L66)). I would double check the `sasl.jaas.config` value and ensure it follows this pattern including the spaces, quotes and semicolon.

```auto
org.apache.kafka.common.security.plain.PlainLoginModule required username='<key>' password='secret';

```

Here is another example that configures Java Consumers for Confluent Cloud if you’d like to compare the examples for a potential issue / difference:
