Resource names are not currently properly generated

Bug Report

Resource names for historic resources such as Pods or Secrets are not currently properly generated. This is fixed in fabric8 client 5.12 but we need a workaround until we can use that version.

What did you do?

Creating a reconciler for historic resources leads to failures because the associated resource name is not properly generated. This occurs in particular for automatically generated finalizers where something like secrets./finalizer is generated but is an invalid format.

What did you expect to see?

Proper resource names.

What did you see instead? Under which circumstances?

N/A

Environment

Kubernetes cluster type:

$ Mention java-operator-sdk version from pom.xml file

$ java -version

$ kubectl version

Possible Solution

Additional context

[metacosm]

Additionally, with the empty group issue, even if we address the issue of the trailing ., the finalizer string still won't be valid because the part before the / won't constitute a valid domain name.
