I have been able to successfully retrieve external IDP tokens using the API call `GET /realms/{realm}/broker/{provider_alias}/token HTTP/1.1` with the `Authorization: Bearer <KEYCLOAK ACCESS TOKEN>` header. Now, I would like to know if it is possible to achieve the same functionality through the Java SDK. Can you provide any guidance or examples for this?
