Describe the feature you would like.
- The
io.opentelemetry:opentelemetry-exporter-zipkinis deprecated and unmaintained. It doesn't even align with the dependencies ofopen-telemetry/opentelemetry-java, leading to the conclusion that everyone should only use OTLP. See Deprecate Zipkin exporter open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification#4715 , https://opentelemetry.io/blog/2025/deprecating-zipkin-exporters/ and Deprecate zipkin exporter open-telemetry/opentelemetry-java#7863 . - Incidentally, Zipkin also supports OTLP. See https://github.com/openzipkin-contrib/zipkin-otel/blob/main/module/README.md . Developers can continue to pass data to Zipkin via
io.opentelemetry:opentelemetry-exporter-otlp.
At least for Java, the zipkin exporter uses dreprecated attributes and lacks resource attributes. If users want to send trace signals to Zipkin, they should use the otlp collector from zipkin-otel.
- I believe we should remove the use of
io.opentelemetry:opentelemetry-exporter-zipkin. This includes removing all related documentation and unit tests, integration tests, and E2E tests.
