Looking at the [shield-custom-realm-example build.gradle](https://github.com/elastic/shield-custom-realm-example/blob/6.0/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](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.6/setup-xpack-client.html) 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.
