Confluent Maven repository not working?

Answer 1

You can add a mirror in you maven settings file to fetch the jars from confluent repo along with repository config . Changes needed are Add a mirror in settings.xml

   
      confluent
      confluent
      Nexus public mirror
      http://packages.confluent.io/maven/

In repository section of maven settings add this

          confluent
          http://packages.confluent.io/maven/
          
            true
          
          
            true
