Did you check https://quarkus.io/guides/kafka-schema-registry-avro#confluent?

[teimyBr]

In JVM mode, any version of io.confluent:kafka-avro-serializer can be used. In native mode, Quarkus supports the following versions: 6.2.x, 7.0.x, 7.1.x, 7.2.x, 7.3.x.

For version 7.4.x and 7.5.x, due to an issue with the Confluent Schema Serializer, you need to add another dependency

7.5.x is quite old.

I guess Quarkus should not depend on such old versions. I guess everyone want to use quite new versions

[cescoffier]

We should rewrite with something like: for any version > 7.4...

[teimyBr]

io.confluent:kafka-streams-avro-serde to v7.5.1 works quite well on your side, but i would be cool if we can also use 7.6.x, 7.7.x, or even 7.8.x

7.4.x and 7.5.x is quite old

[ozangunalp]

Quarkus doesn't depend on confluent serde artifacts, in any way, they are published to Confluent maven repository not to the Maven central. So yes we should write something like "> 7.4".

[teimyBr]

If i want to use implementation 'io.confluent:kafka-streams-avro-serde:7.8.0' how i can get the Native Build running without failing ?

[cescoffier]

You may need extra native compilation metadata. I would recommend asking directly to Confluent. They can add the metadata in the jar directly.

Do you have a stack trace or something?
