Creating a Docker image using Maven

If you have used Maven to resolve dependencies but the Maven provides support to create a build by adding some plugins to the Maven configuration file pom.xml. So, if you want to create a Docker image by using the Maven commands, you have to add a new plugin in the Maven pom.xml file. Consider the following:

<properties> 
   ... 
   <docker.image.prefix>doj</docker.image.prefix> 
</properties> 
 
<build> 
   <plugins> 
         <plugin> 
               <groupId>com.spotify</groupId> 
               <artifactId>dockerfile-maven-plugin</artifactId> 
               <version>1.3.4</version> 
               <configuration> 
                     <repository>${docker.image.prefix}/${project.artifactId}</repository> 
                     <buildArgs> 
                           <JAR_FILE>target/${project.build.finalName}.jar</JAR_FILE> 
            ...
