When I try to compile I get an error about a missing SNAPSHOT dependency.

The error looks something like this:

Failed to execute goal on project kafka-connect-storage-common-parent: Could not resolve dependencies for project io.confluent:kafka-connect-storage-common-parent:pom:3.3.0-SNAPSHOT: Failure to find org.apache.kafka:connect-api:jar:0.10.3.0-SNAPSHOT in http://packages.confluent.io/maven/ was cached in the local repository, resolution will not be reattempted until the update interval of confluent has elapsed or updates are forced

Kafka Connect Storage Common modules use a few dependencies which we sometimes use SNAPSHOT versions of. We do this during the development of a new release in order to build and test against new features. If you want to build a development version, you may need to build and install these dependencies to your local Maven repository in order to build the connector:

• Kafka - clone https://github.com/confluentinc/kafka/ and build with gradle; ./gradlew installAll
• Common - clone https://github.com/confluentinc/common and build with mvn install
• Rest Utils - clone https://github.com/confluentinc/rest-utils and build with mvn install
• Avro converter - clone https://github.com/confluentinc/schema-registry and build with mvn install

Then, to build Kafka Connect Storage Common modules and make them available to storage sink connectors, do the same on the current repo:

• Kafka Connect Storage Common - clone https://github.com/confluentinc/kafka-connect-storage-common and build with mvn install
