Example: Jib (Maven)

Jib is one of the supported builders in Skaffold. It builds Docker and OCI images for your Java applications and is available as plugins for Maven and Gradle.

The way you configure it in skaffold.yaml is the following build stanza:

build:
     artifacts:
     - image: skaffold-example
       context: .
       jib: {}

Please note that this example is for a standalone Maven project, where all dependencies are resolved from outside. The Jib builder requires that the projects are configured to use the Jib plugins for Maven or Gradle. Multi-module builds require a bit additional configuration.
