To be used with programming questions that uses docker-maven-plugin ( A Maven plugin for building and pushing Docker images )
The Docker Maven Plugin was the initial Maven plugin used at Spotify for building Docker images out of Java services. This plugin is capable of generating a Dockerfile
for you based on configuration in the pom.xml file for things like the FROM
image, resources to add with ADD/COPY
, etc.
You can use this plugin to create a Docker image with artifacts built from your Maven project. For example, the build process for a Java service can output a Docker image that runs the service.
Note that the authors recommend that new projects use Dockerfile Maven Plugin instead.
