fabric8: Add a configmap - maven

Question

I've been able to build and deploy my spring boot service image into openshift using fabric8 plugin.
I need to add some configmap.
I've tried to add an striaghtforward configmap.yml into src/main/fabric8.
Currently, I'm getting this message:

My configmap.yml is:
data:
application.properties: |
spring.profiles.active=dev
My current related pom.xml configuration is:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>io.fabric8</groupId>
<artifactId>fabric8-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>4.4.1</version>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
It's zero configuration based.
Any ideas about how to add my configmap.yml?

I'm from Fabric8/Eclipse JKube team.
As I've mentioned in the comment, you should try switching to Eclipse JKube since it's going to be supported in future. Migrating to Eclipse JKube is as simple as running this goal:
$ mvn org.eclipse.jkube:kubernetes-maven-plugin:migrate
I tried out your ConfigMap resource fragment with this version of kubernetes-maven-plugin in one of my demo projects:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.eclipse.jkube</groupId>
<artifactId>kubernetes-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.1.0</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>resource</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
I added your ConfigMap to my src/main/jkube directory:
eclipse-jkube-sample-with-resource-fragments : $ cat src/main/jkube/second-configmap.yaml
data:
application.properties: |
spring.profiles.active=dev
When I did mvn k8s:resource k8s:apply, I was able to see ConfigMap being created:
eclipse-jkube-sample-with-resource-fragments : $ mvn k8s:resource k8s:apply
