@satishbhor : Thank you.
i was able to resolve the above version mismatch with your input but when tried to configure Pepper-Box PlainText Config ,unfortunately i could n't find one .Do we need to add any external jars to accomplish the same?

Did you copy pepperbox in lib/ext directory of JMeter? (remove older version if any)
If yes, it should appear there. It could happen that you have another plugins installed and thus list shown in snapshot is very big so try typing name to reach pepperbox plain text config.
Let me know if this helps.

I tried with pepper-box-1.0.jar by putting them both in libexec/extras as well as libexec/lib folders,still i could n't find the Pepper-Box PlainText Config nor the Pepper-Box Serialized Config under the list.Is it something related to mac OS for the jar not loading those class files under config element?

Below are my software details:
Mac os
Jmeter version: 5.1.1 r1855137
kafka version:2.2.0
Java -version
openjdk version "1.8.0_222"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (AdoptOpenJDK)(build 1.8.0_222-b10)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (AdoptOpenJDK)(build 25.222-b10, mixed mode)

from pepper-box.

Let me try to reproduce it and will share the updates.

I tried with latest JMeter version and jmeter5.0_kafka1.1.0 branch. I build the code and put the jar in /lib/ext/ directory and started JMeter. I could see both the components available in JMeter.

Can try to use clean JMeter and try the process again and let me know if you still face the issue.
