Issue downloading dependency io.confluent.flink:apiserver-client-java

[bhargavyk2002]

org.apache.kafka » kafka_2.13 » 7.8.0-ce has io.confluent.flink:apiserver-client-java in its runtime dependencies.
But this jar does not exist.
Why is this being referenced here if it does not exist? -> https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.kafka/kafka_2.13/7.8.0-ce

Because of this we are getting the following error while compiling

dependencies for project io.confluent.ksql:ksqldb-test-util:jar:7.8.0: Failure to find io.confluent.flink:apiserver-client-java:jar:0.3555.0

What can be done?

Hi all, this is a private dependency indeed, but only needed at runtime, so wondering if you could just exclude it locally for your tests? Hope it helps!
