How to import the Confluence API with Maven?

Question

I need to work with the Confluence API.

I work with Maven POM but I don't find how to insert the dependencies for the Confluence API.

Can you help me?

What I've already tried:
I need to work with the SpaceManager primaly.
I found this tutorial about managing the pom. So after the tutorial, my pom looks like the following:

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
    <groupId>***.createspace</groupId>
    <artifactId>CreateSpace</artifactId>
    <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
    <packaging>jar</packaging>

    <name>CreateSpace</name>
    <url>http://maven.apache.org</url>

    <properties>
        <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
    </properties>

    <build>
        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>com.atlassian.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-confluence-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>3.2.3</version>
                <extensions>true</extensions>
                <configuration>
                    <productVersion>${product.version}</productVersion>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>
    </build>

    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>junit</groupId>
            <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
            <version>3.8.1</version>
            <scope>test</scope>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.atlassian.confluence</groupId>
            <artifactId>confluence</artifactId>
            <version>${confluence.version}</version>
            <scope>provided</scope>    <!-- important! -->
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
</project>

The *** in the groupId is just to hide my package name of my company.

But also with this pom, I get the error The import com.atlassian cannot be resolved with this import:

import com.atlassian.confluence.spaces.SpaceManager;

So can you help me? Or please tell me what I should add to avoid downvotes, then I hope you see I really searched in the net and need help!

There are instructions how to work with atlassian maven repo Atlassian Maven Repositories and the repo URL is provided: https://maven.atlassian.com/repository/public

<!-- language: xml -->
<repository>
  <id>atlassian-public</id>
  <url>https://maven.atlassian.com/repository/public</url>
  <snapshots>
    <enabled>true</enabled>
    <updatePolicy>never</updatePolicy>
    <checksumPolicy>warn</checksumPolicy>
  </snapshots>
   <releases>
     <enabled>true</enabled>
     <checksumPolicy>warn</checksumPolicy>
  </releases>
</repository>

If you're trying to add a plugin for confluence WIKI you'll probably need a dependency to:

<!-- language: xml -->
<groupId>com.atlassian.confluence</groupId>
<artifactId>confluence</artifactId>

( only once you add the atlassian maven repo to your pom.xml ) so full pom.xml will look like this:

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">

    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>

    <groupId>org.vilutis.lt</groupId>
    <artifactId>confluence-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
    <name>confluence-plugin</name>

    <repositories>
        <repository>
            <id>atlassian-public</id>
            <url>https://maven.atlassian.com/repository/public</url>
            <snapshots>
                <enabled>true</enabled>
                <updatePolicy>never</updatePolicy>
                <checksumPolicy>warn</checksumPolicy>
            </snapshots>
            <releases>
                <enabled>true</enabled>
                <checksumPolicy>warn</checksumPolicy>
            </releases>
        </repository>
    </repositories>

    <!-- I had to add this section because activation-1.0.2.jar does not exist in public maven repo -->
    <dependencyManagement>
        <dependencies>
            <dependency>
                <groupId>javax.activation</groupId>
                <artifactId>activation</artifactId>
                <version>1.1</version>
            </dependency>
        </dependencies>
    </dependencyManagement>

    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.atlassian.confluence</groupId>
            <artifactId>confluence</artifactId>
            <version>5.2</version>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
</project>

This config works fine with version 5.2 and the SpaceManager class is accessible in your java code.

I'm not sure with Confluence API implementation you're using. You could try this:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.jvnet.hudson</groupId>
  <artifactId>confluence-api</artifactId>
  <version>1.0</version>
</dependency>

If you're using an implementation that doesn't support maven builds, then you'll have to add the transitive dependencies yourself.

In this case confluent.version is 3.0.0

    <dependency>
        <groupId>io.confluent</groupId>
        <artifactId>common-config</artifactId>
        <version>${confluent.version}</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>io.confluent</groupId>
        <artifactId>common-utils</artifactId>
        <version>${confluent.version}</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>io.confluent</groupId>
        <artifactId>kafka-schema-registry-client</artifactId>
        <version>${confluent.version}</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>io.confluent</groupId>
        <artifactId>kafka-avro-serializer</artifactId>
        <version>${confluent.version}</version>
    </dependency>
