Answer 1

you need to use an entrypoint shell script you will need to build your docker file so that you can copy the files in to the container.

your entrypoint.sh or call it runjettytests.sh

pseudo code for that will look like:

#!/bin/sh
java -jar start.jar
$runTests
java -DSTOP.PORT=8080 -DSTOP.KEY=stop_jetty -jar start.jar --stop
cp dataset2 data/
java -jar start.jar
$runTests2
java -DSTOP.PORT=8080 -DSTOP.KEY=stop_jetty -jar start.jar --stop
exit(0)

clearly your use case may vary but thats a rough idea
