  +=== Deploying Confluent Schema Registry with {prodname} containers
  +
  +As of {prodname} 2.0.0, Confluent Schema Registry support is on part of the {prodname} containers.
  +To make it working, you need to install into Connect plugin directory appropriate jar files which contain Confluent Avro converters.
  +Namely, you would need following jar file:
  +
  +* `kafka-connect-avro-converter`
  +* `kafka-connect-avro-data`
  +* `kafka-avro-serializer`
  +* `kafka-schema-serializer`
  +* `kafka-schema-registry-client`
  +* `common-config`
  +* `common-utils`
  +
  +[NOTE]
  +====
  +You can download the required jar files https://packages.confluent.io/maven/[Confluent's Maven repository].
