quarkus: OpenTelemetry exporter (otlp) startup dependency error when running as a Docker container image

Describe the bug

Using the OpenTelemetry guide, I’m configuring my Quarkus application to push traces and spans to an external OTel collector endpoint. This works fine when I run the application with ./mvnw quarkus:dev or when running the application through IntelliJ Quarkus Plugin. The application starts and I can verify that the GET /hello API calls result in spans that are pushed to my OTel collector.

However, when I run the same application as a Docker container, it runs into a dependency error during startup. For some reason the startup process is not able to find the “exporter-otlp” classes in the classpath, even though the otlp dependencies opentelemetry-exporter-otlp-common and opentelemetry-exporter-otlp are provided in my pom.xml file (as indicated in OpenTelemetry exporter section).

application.properties file:

quarkus.otel.service.name=opentelemetry-reproducer-test
quarkus.otel.traces.exporter=otlp
quarkus.otel.exporter.otlp.traces.endpoint=http://192.168.0.37:4317
quarkus.otel.exporter.otlp.traces.headers=Authorization=Bearer XXX

Docker container build and run steps:

./mvnw clean package -Dquarkus.container-image.build=true -Dquarkus.container-image.group=acme

docker run --rm --name opentelemetry-reproducer -p 8080:8080 -e QUARKUS_PROFILE=dev acme/opentelemetry-reproducer:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT

Error during startup:

Expected behavior

Application startup is successful regardless of how it’s ran (i.e through Maven, IDE or as a Docker container)

Actual behavior

Application startup is successful when running through Maven or IDE, but it fails when it’s ran as a Docker container

How to Reproduce?

1. Clone the reproducer Quarkus project: https://github.com/yunusevren/opentelemetry-reproducer
