What is Maven?

Apache Maven is a software project management and comprehension tool. Based on the concept of a project object model (POM), Maven can manage a project's build, reporting and documentation from a central piece of information.

How to use this image

You can run a Maven project by using the Maven Docker image directly, passing a Maven command to docker run:

Linux

docker run -it --rm --name my-maven-project -v "$(pwd)":/usr/src/mymaven -w /usr/src/mymaven maven:3.3-jdk-17 mvn verify

Windows

docker run -it --rm --name my-maven-project -v "$(Get-Location)":C:/Src -w C:/Src csanchez/maven:3.3-jdk-17-windows mvn verify

Windows

docker run -it --rm --name my-maven-project -v "$(Get-Location)":C:/Src -w C:/Src maven:3.3-jdk-17-windows mvn clean install

Building local Docker image (optional)

This is a base image that you can extend, so it has the bare minimum packages needed. If you add custom package(s) to the Dockerfile, then you can build your local Docker image like this:

docker build --tag my_local_maven:3.9.9-jdk-8 .

Multi-stage Builds

You can build your application with Maven and package it in an image that does not include Maven using multi-stage builds.

# build
FROM maven
WORKDIR /usr/src/app
COPY pom.xml .
RUN mvn -B -e -C -T 1C org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-dependency-plugin:3.1.2:go-offline
COPY . .
RUN mvn -B -e -o -T 1C verify

# package without maven
FROM eclipse-temurin:17-jdk
COPY --from=0 /usr/src/app/target/*.jar ./

Reusing the Maven local repository

The local Maven repository can be reused across containers by creating a volume and mounting it in /root/.m2.

docker volume create --name maven-repo
docker run -it -v maven-repo:/root/.m2 maven mvn archetype:generate # will download artifacts
docker run -it -v maven-repo:/root/.m2 maven mvn archetype:generate # will reuse downloaded artifacts

Or you can just use your home .m2 cache directory that you share e.g. with your Eclipse/IDEA:

docker run -it --rm -v "$PWD":/usr/src/mymaven -v "$HOME/.m2":/root/.m2 -v "$PWD/target:/usr/src/mymaven/target" -w /usr/src/mymaven maven mvn package

Packaging a local repository with the image

The $MAVEN_CONFIG dir (default to /root/.m2 or C:\Users\ContainerUser\.m2) could be configured as a volume so anything copied there in a Dockerfile at build time is lost. For that reason the dir /usr/share/maven/ref/ (or C:\ProgramData\Maven\Reference) exists, and anything in that directory will be copied on container startup to $MAVEN_CONFIG.

To create a pre-packaged repository, create a pom.xml with the dependencies you need and use this in your Dockerfile. /usr/share/maven/ref/settings-docker.xml (C:\ProgramData\Maven\Reference\settings-docker.xml) is a settings file that changes the local repository to /usr/share/maven/ref/repository (C:\Programdata\Maven\Reference\repository), but you can use your own settings file as long as it uses /usr/share/maven/ref/repository (C:\ProgramData\Maven\Reference\repository) as local repo.

COPY pom.xml /tmp/pom.xml
RUN mvn -B -f /tmp/pom.xml -s /usr/share/maven/ref/settings-docker.xml dependency:resolve

To add your custom settings.xml file to the image use

COPY settings.xml /usr/share/maven/ref/

For an example, check the tests dir

Running as non-root (not supported on Windows)

Maven needs the user home to download artifacts to, and if the user does not exist in the image an extra user.home Java property needs to be set.

For example, to run as the current user (instead of root), mounting the host Maven repo (at ~/.m2)

docker run -v ~/.m2:/var/maven/.m2 -it --rm -u $(id -u) -e MAVEN_CONFIG=/var/maven/.m2 maven mvn -Duser.home=/var/maven archetype:generate

Image Variants

The maven images come in many flavors, each designed for a specific use case.

maven:<version>

This is the defacto image. If you are unsure about what your needs are, you probably want to use this one. It is designed to be used both as a throw away container (mount your source code and start the container to start your app), as well as the base to build other images off of.

Installed Packages

The following packages are currently installed in each variant. Some come from the parent images and some are installed in this image for backwards compatibility.

Image Verification

Images under csanchez/maven and ghcr.io/carlossg/maven are signed with sigstore/cosign using GitHub OIDC

Verification can be done with cosign verify

Example:

COSIGN_EXPERIMENTAL=true cosign verify csanchez/maven:3-eclipse-temurin-17

Building

Build with the usual

docker build -t maven .

Tests are written using bats for Linux images and pester for Windows images under the tests dir.

Use the env var TAG to choose what image to run tests against.

Linux

TAG=eclipse-temurin-17 bats tests

Windows

$env:TAG="openjdk-11" ; Invoke-Pester -Path tests

or run all the tests with

Linux

for dir in $(/bin/ls -1 -d */ | grep -v 'tests\|windows'); do TAG=$(basename $dir) bats tests; done

Windows

Get-ChildItem -File -Include "*windows*" | ForEach-Object { Push-Location ; $env:TAG=$_.Name ; Invoke-Pester -Path tests ; Pop-Location }

Bats can be easily installed with brew install bats-core on OS X.

Note that you may first need to:

git submodule init
git submodule update

Pester comes with most modern Windows (Windows 10 and Windows Server 2019), but is an older version than required.

Adding New Images

• Copy an existing dir (other than eclipse-temurin-11) to the new name and update Dockerfile as needed.
• Update README.md to include the new image and table with packages installed in that image.
• When adding a new JDK then it also needs to be added to the beginning of common.sh
• Run github-action-generation.sh to generate new GitHub Actions for the new image
• When a parent image changes the latest tag to a new JDK version it can be updated in common.sh

Updating Maven version

• Search and replace all references to the previous version by the new version.
• Update environment variable SHA in eclipse-temurin-17/Dockerfile with value found in maven download page for the binary tar.gz archive.
• Update environment variable SHA in *-{nanoserver,windowsservercore}/Dockerfile with value found in maven download page for the binary zip archive.

Publishing to Docker Hub

In order to publish the images a PR needs to be opened against docker-library/official-images

For that we use publish.sh that runs generate-stackbrew-library.sh
