helm : enhance chart generation

I would like to have the option to choose where I want to output charts to be generated. I’ll like prefer to have it in ./charts folder instead of target… like that I could add it to my source code.

something like :

<plugin>
        <groupId>org.eclipse.jkube</groupId>
        <artifactId>k8s-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>0.2.0</version>
         <configuration>
              <outputDir>./charts</outputDir>
          </configuration>
      </plugin>

for now I'm using this 

(your helm mojo is broken for now, that's why I'm using fabric8)
mvn fabric8:helm -D=fabric8.helm.outputDir=./charts

the file Chart.yaml could be enhanced like that (it contains more useful informations and display nice in chartmuseum UI too :

apiVersion: v1
appVersion: "1.0"
description: A Helm TEST chart for Kubernetes
name: test-k8s-helm
version: 0.1.1
maintainers: [e-mail]
home: http://url-du-projet
icon: http://littleicon.png
sources:
  - githubpath

all that information could be in configuration in the pom.xml

if the folder is present… just override the files without deleted the content.

ok, I see your point. I can live with that.

I agree that’s a bug in helm cli. but there is over 900 issues, so I’m not sure if I add one more it will make a difference.
