Configure Maven
Maven Settings
The Maven settings, used by the Camel K operator, can be provided in a ConfigMap or a Secret.
The kubectl
CLI provides convenient commands, to create a ConfigMap or a Secret from a file, e.g.:
$ kubectl create configmap maven-settings --from-file=settings.xml
The created ConfigMap or Secret can then be referenced in the IntegrationPlatform resource, from the spec.build.maven.settings
field, e.g.:
apiVersion: camel.apache.org/v1
kind: IntegrationPlatform
metadata:
name: camel-k
spec:
build:
maven:
settings:
configMapKeyRef:
key: settings.xml
name: maven-settings
Maven Settings Security
If your project also requires a Maven Settings Security in a settings-security.xml
file (as described in the official Maven Password Encryption guide), you can create a ConfigMap or Secret for that file
$ kubectl create configmap maven-settings-security --from-file=settings-security.xml
and reference it in the IntegrationPlatform resource:
apiVersion: camel.apache.org/v1
kind: IntegrationPlatform
metadata:
name: camel-k
spec:
build:
maven:
settings:
configMapKeyRef:
key: settings.xml
name: maven-settings
settingsSecurity:
configMapKeyRef:
key: settings-security.xml
name: maven-settings-security
The IntegrationPlatform resource can be edited directly, to reference the ConfigMap(s) or the Secret(s) that contains the Maven settings and settings security, e.g.:
$ kubectl edit ip camel-k
Alternatively, the Kamel CLI provides the --maven-settings
option, with the install
command, that can be used to configure the Maven settings at installation time, e.g.:
$ kamel install --maven-settings=configmap|secret:name[/key]
In case you only want to configure remote repositories, you can use the --maven-repository
option, that automatically generates a settings.xml
file and relieves from creating a ConfigMap or Secret, e.g.:
$ kamel install --maven-repository <repository_url>
Check the CA Certificates section, if these remote repositories require custom CA certificates. |
Extra attributes can be appended to the repository_url
, using the @
separator.
The following attributes are supported:
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
|
string |
Sets the repository |
|
string |
Sets the repository |
|
flag |
Turns |
|
flag |
Turns |
|
string |
Sets the repository |
|
string |
Declares the repository as a mirror of the repositories with matching ids |
For example, running the following command:
$ kamel install --maven-repository https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/snapshots-group@id=apache@snapshots@noreleases
Results in generating the following settings.xml
file:
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>apache</id>
<url>http://repository.apache.org/content/groups/snapshots-group</url>
<snapshots>
<enabled>true</enabled>
</snapshots>
<releases>
<enabled>false</enabled>
</releases>
</repository>
</repositories>
The --maven-settings and --maven-repository options are mutually exclusive.

You can find more information in the Introduction to Repositories from the Maven documentation.
HTTP Proxy
HTTP proxy can be configured on the Camel K operator Deployment, with the usual HTTP_PROXY
, HTTPS_PROXY
, and NO_PROXY
environment variables.
The operator automatically configures Maven according to the values of these variables.
See the HTTP proxy documentation for more details.
The generated configuration can be overwritten in the Maven Settings if necessary.
CA Certificates
The CA certificates, used by the Maven commands to connect to the remote Maven repositories, can be provided in a Secret.
The kubectl
CLI provides a convenient command, to create a Secret from a file, e.g.:
$ kubectl create secret generic maven-ca-certs --from-file=ca.crt
The Secret can contain X.509 certificates, and PKCS#7 formatted certificate chains. A JKS formatted keystore is automatically created to store the CA certificate(s), and configured to be used as a trusted certificate(s) by the Maven commands. The root CA certificates are also imported into the created keystore.
The created Secret can then be referenced in the IntegrationPlatform resource, from the spec.build.maven.caSecret
field, e.g.:
apiVersion: camel.apache.org/v1
kind: IntegrationPlatform
metadata:
name: camel-k
spec:
build:
maven:
caSecret:
key: tls.crt
name: tls-secret
Alternatively, the Kamel CLI provides the --maven-ca-secret
option, with the install
command, that can be used to configure the Maven CA Secret at installation time, e.g.:
$ kamel install --maven-ca-secret <secret_name>/<secret_key>
Maven Extensions
The Maven extensions used by the Camel K operator while building integrations can be configured using the Kamel CLI through the --maven-extension
option, e.g.:
$ kamel install --maven-extension fi.yle.tools:aws-maven:1.4.2
The IntegrationPlatform resource stores extensions in the spec.build.maven.extension
field, e.g:
apiVersion: camel.apache.org/v1
kind: IntegrationPlatform
metadata:
name: camel-k
spec:
build:
maven:
extension:
- artifactId: aws-maven
groupId: fi.yle.tools
version: 1.4.2
The IntegrationPlatform resource can be edited directly, to add or remove extensions, e.g.:
$ kubectl edit ip camel-k
Maven extensions are typically used to enable Wagon Providers, used for the transport of artifacts between repository.
S3 Bucket as a Maven Repository
In this section, we will show how to configure Camel K to fetch artifacts from a S3 bucket that’s set up as a Maven repository. We will assume that the bucket is already up and running and configured correctly. We will also assume you know how to set up Maven locally to fetch artifacts from it.
Custom Maven Settings
The first thing that needs to be done is to create a Maven settings file configured to use the S3 bucket as a Maven repository. The Maven settings file will be used by the Camel K operator so make sure your S3 instance is accessible in your cluster.
The Maven settings will contain all the information needed for Maven to access the S3 bucket namely your credentials, S3 URL and bucket name.
This information will typically be located in the server
and repository
section of your Maven settings.
For example when using MinIO as a S3 provider and fi.yle.tools:aws-maven:1.4.3
as a Wagon Provider, your Maven settings will look something like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<settings xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

Since these settings contains credentials, you will want to store it in a Kubernetes Secret.
As mentioned above, the kubectl
CLI provides a convenient command to create a Secret from a file, e.g.:
$ kubectl create secret generic camel-k-s3-maven-settings --from-file=maven-settings=maven_settings.xml
S3 TLS Certificates
In most cases, you will need to add the certificate(s) served by your S3 instance to the list of certificate(s) trusted by the Camel K Operator when running Maven commands. Where/how to get the certificate(s) varies greatly depending on how your S3 instance is set up, and will not be covered here. Once retrieved, you should create a Kubernetes Secret containing the certificate(s) similar to what is described in the section CA Certificates, e.g.:
$ kubectl create secret generic s3-ca --from-file=s3-ca=ca.crt
Maven settings, certificates and extensions
We are now ready to configure the Camel K operator to use your S3 bucket as a Maven repository. This can be done while installing the Operator using the Kamel CLI, e.g:
$ kamel install --maven-settings secret:camel-k-s3-maven-settings/maven-settings --maven-ca-secret s3-ca/s3-ca --maven-extension fi.yle.tools:aws-maven:1.4.3
Maven dependencies hosted in your S3 bucket can now be used just like any other dependency when running an integration.
For example when using the Kamel CLI using the --dependency
option:
$ kamel run S3.java --dependency=mvn:artfiactId:groupId:version
Enjoy !
