When I try to compile I get an error about a missing SNAPSHOT dependency.

The error looks something like this:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project kafka-rest: Could not resolve dependencies for project io.confluent:kafka-rest:jar:3.1.0-SNAPSHOT: The following artifacts could not be resolved: io.confluent:rest-utils:jar:3.1.0-SNAPSHOT, org.apache.kafka:kafka_2.11:jar:0.10.1.0-SNAPSHOT, io.confluent:kafka-avro-serializer:jar:3.1.0-SNAPSHOT, io.confluent:kafka-json-serializer:jar:3.1.0-SNAPSHOT, io.confluent:rest-utils-test:jar:3.1.0-SNAPSHOT, org.apache.kafka:kafka_2.11:jar:test:0.10.1.0-SNAPSHOT, org.apache.kafka:kafka-clients:jar:test:0.10.1.0-SNAPSHOT, io.confluent:kafka-schema-registry:jar:3.1.0-SNAPSHOT: Could not find artifact io.confluent:rest-utils:jar:3.1.0-SNAPSHOT in confluent (http://packages.confluent.io/maven/) -> [Help 1]

During development of new versions of the REST Proxy we sometimes use a SNAPSHOT versions of dependencies in order to build and test against new features. If you want to build a development version, you may need to build and install these dependencies to your local Maven repository in order to build the connector:
