HotRod Java client is not working after update the RHDG modules for EAP to 7.3.5

Issue

• When upgrading to Red Hat Data Grid 7.3.5 the server upgrade seems to be working fine but when we try to update the EAP module on the client side we run into the following exception when trying to initialize the RemoteCacheManager

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class io.netty.util.internal.PlatformDependent
