Kafka + Avro serialization - io.confluent.kafka.serializers.KafkaAvroSerializer - maven dependency not resolving

[Neville Sequeira]

Maven repository http://packages.confluent.io/maven/ does not seem to be
working.

I have these two blocks in my pom file...

<repositories>
    <repository>
        <id>confluent</id>
        <url>http://packages.confluent.io/maven/</url>
    </repository>
</repositories>


<dependency>
    <groupId>io.confluent</groupId>
    <artifactId>kafka-avro-serializer</artifactId>
    <version>1.0</version> <!-- Also tried 2.0-SNAPSHOT  -->
</dependency>


Any work around for this? Any other Serializer implementation I can used
when using Avro with Kafka?


Thanks,
