Eclipse - Docker integration

Question

I\'m looking for a way to integrate Docker containers with the Eclipse platform. I would like to run all build/test/debug command inside containers and use same containers in Co

Answer 1

To do that, i think you work on a Linux platform :-)

What i do for a classic java project :

• Build a Docker image that contains a jdk and maven for example
• In Eclipse, via "Run Configurations", create a "build in Docker" configuration that launch a command like this :
  docker run --rm -v <eclipse_workspace_dir>:/usr/src/myapp -w /usr/src/myapp myrepo/myimage mvn clean install

it should work.

For your continuous integration, you can use Docker Jenkins plugin to do the same or with a sh script.

Answer 2

it is not a full answer to your question but we (JBoss Tools team) started working on this and here are a few blogs about what is possible todo today and where we are with Eclipse docker tooling.

To configure remote debugging in Eclipse, click on Run > Debug Configurations...

Tomcat for instance supports remote debugging the Java Platform Debugger Architecture (JPDA). Make sure that the remote debugging was enabled when the tomcat image (registration-webserver) was built.
