Deprecation Note:
This project has been moved to https://github.com/eclipse/jkube . All new features would be implemented there and support for FMP would be eventually dropped.
fabric8-maven-plugin
Introduction
This Maven plugin is a one-stop-shop for building and deploying Java applications for Docker, Kubernetes and OpenShift. It brings your Java applications on to Kubernetes and OpenShift. It provides a tight integration into maven and benefits from the build configuration already provided. It focuses on three tasks:
- Building Docker images
- Creating OpenShift and Kubernetes resources
- Deploy application on Kubernetes and OpenShift
Usage
To enable fabric8 maven plugin on your project just add this to the plugins sections of your pom.xml:
      <plugin>
        <groupId>io.fabric8</groupId>
        <artifactId>fabric8-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>${fmp.version}</version>
      </plugin>

The full documentation can be found in the User Manual [PDF]. It supports the following goals:
| Goal | Description | 
|---|---|
| fabric8:resource | Create Kubernetes and OpenShift resource descriptors | 
| fabric8:build | Build Docker images | 
| fabric8:push | Push Docker images to a registry | 
| fabric8:deploy | Deploy Kubernetes / OpenShift resource objects to a cluster | 
| fabric8:watch | Watch for doing rebuilds and restarts | 
Features
- Includes docker-maven-plugin for dealing with Docker images and hence inherits its flexible and powerful configuration.
- Supports both Kubernetes and OpenShift descriptors
- OpenShift Docker builds with a binary source (as an alternative to a direct image build against a Docker daemon)
- Various configuration styles: 
  - Zero Configuration for a quick ramp-up where opinionated defaults will be pre-selected.
- Inline Configuration within the plugin configuration in an XML syntax.
- External Configuration templates of the real deployment descriptors which are enriched by the plugin.
 
- Flexible customization: 
  - Generators analyze the Maven build and generated automatic Docker image configurations for certain systems (spring-boot, plain java, karaf ...)
- Enrichers extend the Kubernetes / OpenShift resource descriptors by extra information like SCM labels and can add default objects like Services.
- Generators and Enrichers can be individually configured and combined into profiles

fabric8-maven-plugin 3 vs. 2
This is a complete rewrite of the former fabric8-maven plugin. It does not share the same configuration syntax, but migration should be straight forward - please use the fabric8:migrate goal from 2.x of the plugin.
