Eclipse JKube 1.15 is now available!

On behalf of the Eclipse JKube team and everyone who has contributed, I'm happy to announce that Eclipse JKube 1.15.0 has been released and is now available from Maven Central 🎉.

Thanks to all of you who have contributed with issue reports, pull requests, feedback, and spreading the word with blogs, videos, comments, and so on. We really appreciate your help, keep it up!

What's new?

Without further ado, let's have a look at the most significant updates:

• Support for Spring Boot 3 native image
• Helm values.yaml fragments
• Updated base images
• 🐛 Many other bug-fixes and minor improvements

Support for Spring Boot 3 native image

Starting with this release, JKube automatically detects Spring Boot 3 native image build artifacts and generates a suitable container image. This feature is available for both Maven and Gradle builds.

If you're using Gradle, it will be as simple as running the following commands:

gradle nativeCompile
gradle k8sBuild

Or in case of Maven:

mvn -Pnative native:compile
mvn k8s:build

Helm values.yaml fragments

You can now provide a values.helm.yaml file in the src/main/jkube directory. JKube will automatically merge the contents of this file with the generated values.yaml file during the Helm chart generation. The fields from the fragment will be merged with those that can be provided as parameters in the build.gradle or pom.xml plugin configuration section.

Using this release

If your project is based on Maven, you just need to add the Kubernetes Maven plugin or the OpenShift Maven plugin to your plugin dependencies:

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.eclipse.jkube</groupId>
  <artifactId>kubernetes-maven-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>1.15.0</version>
</plugin>

If your project is based on Gradle, you just need to add the Kubernetes Gradle plugin or the OpenShift Gradle plugin to your plugin dependencies:

plugins {
  id 'org.eclipse.jkube.kubernetes' version '1.15.0'
}
