Import Kafka MockAdminClient for unit testing my Kafka application using maven

Question

I would like to use MockAdminClient for unit testing my Kafka application. How can I make MockAdminClient imported using maven?

https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/2.3.0/clients/src/test/java/org/apache/kafka/clients/admin/MockAdminClient.java

UPDATE:

My kafka-client related pom.xml

<dependency>
   <groupId>org.apache.kafka</groupId>
   <artifactId>kafka-clients</artifactId>
    <version>${kafka.version}</version>
</dependency>

By referring test by maven I found sth like this How can I reference unit test classes of a maven dependency in my java project?

You need to pull the test classifier, and then add the test scope to get it only available for your unit tests

<dependency>
   <groupId>org.apache.kafka</groupId>
   <artifactId>kafka-clients</artifactId>
    <version>${kafka.version}</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
    <classifier>test</classifier>
</dependency>

Kafka doesn't package any artifacts of that type. The tests are just in a regular jar (which is the default type tag) – OneCricketeer Jul 30 '19 at 14:19

It is a part of Kafka Clients, you have to add the following dependency in maven pom.xml.

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.kafka</groupId>
    <artifactId>kafka-clients</artifactId>
    <version>2.3.0</version>
</dependency>

For more dependencies, you can refer the below link. https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.kafka/kafka-clients
