Version 2.4.4 can't be found

[aakarim]

I am using a manual installation on a Kafka Connect cluster. If I run version 2.4.0, everything works fine. If I run version 2.4.4 the class can't be found. I have tried switching between the two, it seems like it can't load the plugin correctly on 2.4.4.

I get the error:

java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: org.apache.kafka.connect.errors.ConnectException: Failed to find any class that implements Connector and which name matches io.debezium.connector.mysql.MySqlConnector

I am using Kafka 3.2.0.
