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 Continuous Integration build and later in production.

The simplest way I looked on, was just to configure custom command but besides permissions problem (docker must run as sudo/root) it doesn't give me all the flexibility of real integration.

Any ideas on the best way to proceed?

Answer 1

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.
