where can I find maven repository for kafka?

Question

I want to try kafka 0.8 (as I understand it is already released). But where can I find the kafka maven repository.

And what additional repository url should I add?

Answer 1

UPDATE

Since November 2013 official Kafka releases can be found on public Maven repository, the latest version in March 2015 being 0.8.2.1:

  org.apache.kafka
  kafka_2.10
  0.8.2.1

If you created the not.released:kafka artifact detailed below any more you can remove it from the local repository.

Original Answer

Kafka is not released yet to a public Maven repository, but you can add it to your local Maven repository by hand with the install-file command:

mvn install:install-file -Dpackaging=jar -DgroupId=not.released
    -DartifactId=kafka -Dversion=0.8.0 -Dfile=kafka.jar

The command line above expects kafka.jar file in the current working directory. Once installed you can use it with:

  not.released
  kafka
  0.8.0

Once they release Kafka you can just change the dependency in your POMs and remove / uninstall this file from your local repository.
