Whenever a Kogito Runtime Service needs messaging, e.g. Kafka Topics, the Operator should deploy and create those topics on demand.

To be able to do that, the Operator needs to know if the runtime service has a dependency on Kafka.

We should read from the application.properties files and look for Quarkus/Springboot Kafka clients properties. Then add the topics names in the image_metadata.json file generated by code-gen.

This way, during build time the operator will read and deploy the Kafka Topics for the user.

swiderski.maciej wdyt? Is it feasible? I was thinking on use the smallrye properties for Quarkus and the Spring Messaging for Springboot.
