How to resolve dependency org.apache.kafka.clients.producer.Producer to java producer for apache kafka in maven project

This is the controller of my Java web application. package com.proj.controller;

import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestBody;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.ResponseBody;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;

import com.proj.dao.Kafka_ObjectDao;
import com.proj.daoImpl.Kafka_ObjectDaoImpl;
import com.proj.model.Kafka_Object;

@RestController
public class MainController {

Kafka_ObjectDao kafka_ObjectDao = new Kafka_ObjectDaoImpl();

@RequestMapping("/")
public String welcome() {

    return "<h1>Welcome to Rest Services for Kafka</h1><br><br>";
}

 @RequestMapping(value = "/modify/student", method = RequestMethod.POST)
  public @ResponseBody int modifyStudent(@RequestBody Kafka_Object kafka_Object)
 { 
     System.out.println("In controller"); 
     return kafka_ObjectDao.modifyStudent(kafka_Object);

  } 
}

The Dao of this web application is the com.proj.dao package;

   import com.proj.model.Kafka_Object;

 public interface Kafka_ObjectDao {

  public int modifyStudent(Kafka_Object kafka_Object);

}

The implementation of the dao interface is

    package com.proj.daoImpl;
import java.util.Properties;
import org.apache.kafka.clients.producer.KafkaProducer;
import org.apache.kafka.clients.producer.Producer;
import org.apache.kafka.clients.producer.ProducerRecord;

import com.google.gson.Gson;
import com.proj.dao.Kafka_ObjectDao;
import com.proj.model.Kafka_Object;

public class Kafka_ObjectDaoImpl implements Kafka_ObjectDao {
Gson gson = new Gson();

public Kafka_ObjectDaoImpl() {
}

public int modifyStudent(Kafka_Object pojo) {
    Properties props = new Properties();
    props.put("bootstrap.servers", "localhost:9092");
    props.put("acks", "all");
    props.put("retries", 0);
    props.put("batch.size", 16384);
    props.put("linger.ms", 1);
    props.put("buffer.memory", 33554432);
    props.put("key.serializer", "org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.StringSerializer");
    props.put("value.serializer", "org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.StringSerializer");
    try {
        Producer<String, String> producer = new KafkaProducer<String, String>(props);
        ProducerRecord<String, String> PR = new ProducerRecord<String, String>("test", gson.toJson(pojo));
        producer.send(PR);
        System.out.println("Sent:" + PR.toString());
        producer.close();
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return 1;
}

}

The application configuration for this web application is

    package com.proj.config;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.ComponentScan;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;

import com.proj.dao.Kafka_ObjectDao;
import com.proj.daoImpl.Kafka_ObjectDaoImpl;

@Configuration
@ComponentScan(basePackages = "com.proj")
public class ApplicationConfig {

@Bean
public Kafka_ObjectDao getKafka_ObjectDao() {
    return new Kafka_ObjectDaoImpl();
}
}
