Docker Possibilities
• run apps in isolation
• deploying apps to server running exactly or very similar to
production - fast.
• use docker as basis for jenkins build slaves
• take same image and use for development
• experiment with different databases/configuration without
spending time on install/setup
• docker remote builds/deployments

6. #eclipsedocker
Docker @ Eclipse
• Project at Linux Tools (works on OS X and Windows
too)
• Make Docker accessible from Eclipse
• Work with existing Docker tools (docker-machine,
cli, compose etc.)
• Provide value on top of CLI
• Allow reuse by other plugins

7. #eclipsedocker
To get started
• install and configure Docker (use docker-machine)
• (optional) eval "$(docker-machine env dev)”
in setup
• (optional) configure /etc/host to have
dockerhost
• Install tools.jboss.org or via Mars and Docker works
out-of-box

Docker in Eclipse
• management of Docker containers beyond what
CLI can do
• deploy javaee applications
• build native Linux C/C++ aps while running OSX/
Windows or some other Linux variant
• <your favorite usecase here>

12. #eclipsedocker
Future
• short-term (Mars SR1)
• Usability - context menus, access and docker build
• medium-term (Mars ??)
• use docker as target for c/c++, javaee, java
• Launch Configurations for Build and Run
• docker machine
• OpenShift/Kubernetes
• .next
• DockerFile Editor
• “compose”, ?
• Other Containers…
