Missing BouncyCastle Dep

[kferrone]

When I try and connect with the credentials provided by k3s I get the following error:

An internal error occurred during: "connect to kubernetes - use context:pi-cluster".
JcaPEMKeyConverter is provided by BouncyCastle, an optional dependency. To use support for EC Keys you must explicitly add this dependency to classpath.

Can this simply be added as a Maven dep?

At fabric8io/kubernetes-client#1796 there is a discussion about this.
They didn't add it to the maven plugin because it was a "heavy dependency".

"Adding that at a maven dep " - this is an eclipse plugin, so we could either

• add an additional library eclipse plugin and provide the missing bouncy castle dependencies
• add bouncy castle as normal dependency inside the ekube plugin (simpler approach, so prefereable...)

So I would do following steps:

• Check version dependencies as in former link described and transform from maven to gradle:

 <dependency>
      <groupId>org.bouncycastle</groupId>
      <artifactId>bcprov-ext-jdk15on</artifactId>
      <version>${bouncycastle.version}</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.bouncycastle</groupId>
      <artifactId>bcpkix-jdk15on</artifactId>
      <version>${bouncycastle.version}</version>
    </dependency>
  </dependencies>

This example references a bouncy castle version which is avaliable for JDK 1.5

https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.bouncycastle/bcprov-jdk15on/1.68
https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.bouncycastle/bcpkix-jdk15on/1.68

==>

dependencies {
       // https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.bouncycastle/bcprov-jdk15on
      compile group: 'org.bouncycastle', name: 'bcprov-jdk15on', version: '1.68'

     // https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.bouncycastle/bcpkix-jdk15on
     compile group: 'org.bouncycastle', name: 'bcpkix-jdk15on', version: '1.68'
}

• bouncy castle dependencies should be added to gradle dependencies in
  https://github.com/de-jcup/ekube/blob/master/ekube-other/build.gradle
• After this "./gradlew provideLibraries" must be called at root project folder in terminal
• A junit test should be added inside ekube-plugin/src/test/java so a check for JcaPEMKeyConverter should be done there to ensure bouncy castle dependency is available at compile time
  (just create https://www.bouncycastle.org/docs/pkixdocs1.5on/org/bouncycastle/openssl/jcajce/JcaPEMKeyConverter.html)
• Test the plugin works in PDE environment
• Push to master / create PR
• Release...

@kferrone : I just released 0.9.0 on eclipse marketplace - it contains the dependencies. So should work now

It sure does!
