Docker build info for a jenkins image useful for java/maven projects. Based on the "official" docker hub jenkins image. See above for documentation on customizing this image, as well as official github repo.

This image sets up JDK 7 and 8 (using OpenJDK), and Maven versions 3.1.1, 3.2.5, and 3.3.3.

Launch a container with this image mapping a volume to /var/jenkins_home. This ensures the data isn't lost.

Also, if you want to iterate development, you may want to map your local git repository as a volume to your container. See example.

docker run -d --name myjenkins -p 8080 -p 50000 -v /var/jenkins_home -v $HOME/sandbox/apps/my_project/.git:/home/git/repos/my_project.git my_jenkins_image

Here I'm mapping my jenkins_home and also a git repo (tied to my working copy) to a directory in the container. This way I can commit files to my local git branches for use in my jenkins without having to push the code.
