fabric8io docker-maven-plugin version does not support Mac M1 chip

[harsh-ps-2003]

When trying to do mvn clean install to obtain a snapshot of gitalb4j-api i encountered this

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal io.fabric8:docker-maven-plugin:0.30.0:start (start) on project gitlab4j-api: Execution start of goal io.fabric8:docker-maven-plugin:0.30.0:start failed: An API incompatibility was encountered while executing io.fabric8:docker-maven-plugin:0.30.0:start: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: could not load FFI provider jnr.ffi.provider.jffi.Provider

On digging deeper on this issue i found this which conveys that the current version of docker-maven-plugin i.e 0.30.0 does not support M1 chips.
Kindly update the docker-maven-plugin's version to make it compatible wiht Apple M1 chips.

Thank you for this awesome library!
Warm Regards

I tried solving this issue by simply changing the docker-maven-plugins version but i was not able to get the integration tests working! @gmessner

Those integration tests are tricky and we plan to do something different in the future:
#925

Until this is solved, I am sure we could update the docker-maven-plugin if this helps you.

Can you share what you did until now and tell what is blocking?

Thanks for the fast response @gmessner much appreciated!
Until this is solved, I am sure we could update the docker-maven-plugin if this helps you. - okay! so I will make a PR for this simply changing the version of the plugin.

When simply changing the docker-maven-plugin version to a more latest version the integration tests failed but unit tests were working perfectly fine. On running the integration tests I got these :

[ERROR] Tests run: 1, Failures: 0, Errors: 1, Skipped: 0, Time elapsed: 2.782 s <<< FAILURE! - in org.gitlab4j.api.TestAvatarUpload
[ERROR] org.gitlab4j.api.TestAvatarUpload  Time elapsed: 2.782 s  <<< ERROR!
org.gitlab4j.api.GitLabApiException: invalid_grant

which I think are happening because the user is not being configured my side properly for some reason!
Unfortunately there is not much documentation available related to setting up the integration tests :(
