As a workaround for issue in CRD generator for fabric8 client v6: https://github.com/fabric8io/kubernetes-client/issues/4256 had to add dependencies for `crd-generator-api`, like: https://github.com/java-operator-sdk/java-operator-sdk/blob/d74559a5a87d82b00dbf993f53d9040b81b925a9/sample-operators/mysql-schema/pom.xml#L50-L53 after this issue is fixed in fabric8 client (in v6.1) , those should be removed
