X-pack custom security realm dependencies

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Looking at the shield-custom-realm-example build.gradle dependencies, it references "org.elasticsearch.plugin:x-pack-api:${version}", but looking at the x-pack-6.0.0-rc1 distro, all I see is x-pack-6.0.0-rc1.jar. Is there actually another x-pack-api-6.0.0-rc1.jar? If so, where can I find it?

You should be able to find the x-pack-api jar file in our Maven repository.

The instructions for configuring a Java client include the details on the repo.

Thanks for info.

FWIW, these details really should also be found in the X-Pack Security custom realm and custom role provider sections of the reference guide, IMHO.
