I'm using org.jboss.redhat-fuse/fabric8-maven-plugin in one my project but somehow the latest version is always behind.
Is there any reason why we are encouraged to use org.jboss.redhat-fuse/fabric8-maven-plugin for RH Fuse project? instead of io.fabric8/fabric8-maven-plugin
I'm the maintainer of io.fabric8/fabric8-maven-plugin.
org.jboss.redhat-fuse/fabric8-maven-plugin is Jboss's fork of upstream fabric8 maven plugin i.e io.fabric8/fabric8-maven-plugin. Jboss's fork may contain some jboss related patches as per it's requirements. I think it is used under FUSE internals like for Fuse Online. Usually it's synced with upstream plugin from time to time.
If you want to use plugin as a general purpose Kubernetes/Openshift plugin. I recommend to use upstream Fabric8 Maven Plugin. If you are working around FUSE related stuff, then maybe go with Jboss's fork since it's tried and tested. But I think upstream would also work fine.
