We have a small number of e2e tests for kpt live (outside of the bash-based approach). They currently run in serial and requires that a new cluster is created for several of the tests. This causes them to be very slow.

We should improve this by:

• Reduce the number of times we need to create a new kind cluster, as this takes ~1 minute. Tests should clean up after themselves and we can handle

Custom WAR Packager 2.x uses the Jenkins update center to retrieve the plugin information, and it can also do pluginID => groupId/artifactId mapping . There is no need to strictly require Group IDs in the current Custom WAR Packager implementation.

Acceptance criteria

• groupId field is now optional when Update Center Plugin plugin info Provider s used
• There is a groupId resolution

We need the ability to change the AC Handling (Overwrite, Replace, Merge, MergePreserve etc) to be settable from config, currently it's hardcoded to replace which breaks our install of multiple packages.

In the Filter section fetch MODE settings from config.options.acHandling, default to replace

Thank you very much
