Description

Maven properties cannot be used to configure the targeted OpenShift instance/application. It currently requires to use System Environment variables or System Properties.

The Fabric8-maven-plugin relies exclusively on Fabric8 Kubernetes client which is not taking care of Maven properties.

See https://maven.apache.org/plugin-developers/common-bugs.html#Using_System_Properties for Maven plugin best practice And the implementation currently used as it is delegated completely to another library: https://github.com/fabric8io/kubernetes-client/blob/master/kubernetes-client/src/main/java/io/fabric8/kubernetes/client/utils/Utils.java#L44

If you’re still using fabric8’s kubernetes-client, then it provides completely flexible way to configure the client. Check out ConfigBuilder.

@rhuss : As far as I know, client only supports configuration via ~/.kube/config file, which can be overridden via system property if required.
