Not able to utilise the plugin

[DiljeetKaur-ELS]

Hello @ImFlog @bspeakmon @akhil-karanth @codyoss ,
I was trying to utilize the plugin for downloading the schema from the Schema Registry but unfortunately I'm not able to setup the plugin.
The snippet of my build.gradle.kts.:

plugins {
id("java")
id("org.springframework.boot") version "2.4.4"
id("io.spring.dependency-management") version "1.0.11.RELEASE"
id("com.github.imflog.kafka-schema-registry-gradle-plugin") version "1.2.0"
id("com.github.davidmc24.gradle.plugin.avro") version "1.0.0"
}

repositories {
mavenCentral()
jcenter()
maven {
url = uri("https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/")
}
maven {
name = "confluent"
url = uri("https://packages.confluent.io/maven/")
}
}

When I do gradle clean build, I get error:

Could not resolve all artifacts for configuration ':classpath'.
Could not resolve com.github.imflog:kafka-schema-registry-gradle-plugin:1.2.0.
Required by:
project : > com.github.imflog.kafka-schema-registry-gradle-plugin:com.github.imflog.kafka-schema-registry-gradle-plugin.gradle.plugin:1.2.0

> Could not find io.confluent:kafka-schema-registry-parent:6.1.0.
Searched in the following locations:
- https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/io/confluent/kafka-schema-registry-parent/6.1.0/kafka-schema-registry-parent-6.1.0.pom
If the artifact you are trying to retrieve can be found in the repository but without metadata in 'Maven POM' format, you need to adjust the 'metadataSources { ... }' of the repository declaration.

Hello @DiljeetKaur-ELS,
Thank you for the interest on the plugin.
The reason it is not working is because you are defining repositories for your build and not repositories for the plugins.
As stated in the readme you need to add the repository in a buildscript {} block. I tried on my computer and here is what your build.gradle.kts should look like:

plugins {
	id("java")
	id("org.springframework.boot") version "2.4.4"
	id("io.spring.dependency-management") version "1.0.11.RELEASE"
	id("com.github.imflog.kafka-schema-registry-gradle-plugin") version "1.2.0"
	id("com.github.davidmc24.gradle.plugin.avro") version "1.0.0"
}

// The buildscript block was the missing part.
buildscript {
	repositories {
		gradlePluginPortal()
		maven {
			name = "confluent"
			url = uri("https://packages.confluent.io/maven/")
		}
		maven {
			url = uri("https://jitpack.io")
		}
	}
}


repositories {
	mavenCentral()
	jcenter()
        // Add the repository according to the libraries you want to use in your code.
}

Hope it helps.
