Does any of the Spring Batch dependencies uses fabric8 project ?

[sumukhkeni]

Hi,

We're using spring batch for our bulk record processing jobs. Our aplication is deployed on Google GKE culster and we spawn spring jobs as kubernetes job pods. Spring batch internally consumes few library projects from the fabric8 suite hosted at for the same. Wanted to know if Spring Batch actually depends on any of the projects from https://github.com/fabric8io that are archived and resetted and therefore not being supported by the community anymore.

For example, Spring batch depends on project kubernetes-client which is is still active. This dependency is OK for the community to live with.

I needed input on whether Spring batch also depends on project fabric8 that is archived and reseted by the owner on Nov 6, 2025. This dependency is an issue since the same is not active and hence there is no active support for the same.

Would appreciate if someone can clarify if there are any such archived and reseted projects from https://github.com/fabric8io that Spring Batch depends on. Thanks.

GitHub allows querying direct and transitive dependencies via the Dependency graph UI.

With a quick search, I couldn't spot any fabric8 dependency.

Thanks for your prompt response. I'm also trying to check for inputs on 4th party dependencies which are active at runtime and might not be available in the graph or the exported SBOM. Example, spring-batch-infrastructure internally depending on kubernetes-client project of fabric8io to spawn batch jobs in k8s.

I'll explore the dependency graph and community forums further as well, but any more guidance on this would also help.

spring-batch-infrastructure internally depending on kubernetes-client project of fabric8io

Where do you see this dependency? The spring-batch-infrastructure POM doesn't declare it, and the Maven dependency tree doesn't display it.

@sumukhkeni I second what @scordio said. Where do you see spring-batch-infrastructure depending on fabric8?

Hi @sumukhkeni ,

Wanted to know if Spring Batch actually depends on any of the projects from https://github.com/fabric8io

No, Spring Batch does not depend on anything from fabric8

For example, Spring batch depends on project kubernetes-client which is is still active.

How did you come to this conclusion? Can you please elaborate on how you check for dependencies?

@scordio Thank you for the follow up on this.

[sumukhkeni]

@scordio and @fmbenhassine - I was going through spring-cloud-<...> and spring-batch-<...> dependencies together. I'll step back and check this up to see if I mixed up on project dependencies. I'll certainly come back here, pls give me a day for the same. Thanks.

[scordio]

Then maybe this is what you're looking for 🙂 you might want to post the question in that repository.

[sumukhkeni]

Yes I agree. Have traced back the dependency to a project in spring-cloud-kubernetes repo. I certainly have mixed up the 2 repos. Sincere regrets, pls pardon. Thanks both for your support, will close this discussion.
