Following command when I executed  
$confluent kafka client-config create java --schema-registry-api-key my-sr-key --schema-registry-api-secret my-sr-secret

you need to update the cli  
current one is version v3.45.0

see [Confluent CLI Overview | Confluent Documentation](https://docs.confluent.io/confluent-cli/3.45/overview.html)

best,
