Hi Everyone,

We are pleased to announce Eclipse JKube 1.18.2 was just released! You can find the release at Maven Central [1].

Eclipse JKube is a collection of plugins and libraries that are used for building container images using Docker, JIB or S2I build strategies.
Eclipse JKube generates and deploys Kubernetes/OpenShift manifests at compile time too.

JKube is the successor to the deprecated Fabric8 Maven Plugin, please check our migration guide [2] if you come from FMP.

pom.xml:

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.eclipse.jkube</groupId>

  <version>1.18.2</version>
</plugin>

build.gradle:

plugins {
  id 'org.eclipse.jkube.kubernetes' version '1.18.2'
}

(Check Maven Central [1] for the rest of artifacts)
