The document introduces Eclipse Docker, a toolset that enables integration of Docker within the Eclipse IDE, allowing developers to manage Docker containers and build applications using Docker. It outlines the features and functionalities of Docker, such as packaging applications and dependencies, running applications in isolation, and facilitating deployment processes. The document also discusses future enhancements for Eclipse Docker and provides resources for getting started.

What is Docker ?
“Docker allows you to package an application with all
of its dependencies into a standardized unit for
software development.” - docker.com
.jar
.war
.ear
.rpm
.deb

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

Intro Demo
• Connection

11. #eclipsedocker
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…
