Eclipse Integrated Docker Setup

I have read some documentation and tutorials but I am still unclear as how I can integrate my local eclipse dev setup with Docker.

Is it possible to have local source code synced with git to be deployed on an Ubuntu Image Docker Container?.

How would I go about this?.

I am new to Container based development but it seems that the docker git repositories are more like entire servers rather than applications running on servers.

Basically, what I want is to have some method to deploy my eclipse maven source code to an Ubuntu docker container…what is the best way to do this?

You might want to take a look at https://dmp.fabric8.io/ / https://github.com/fabric8io/docker-maven-plugin for build and deployment related tasks.

Additionaly installing the Eclipse Docker Tooling is helpfull to mange the local docker engine directly in Eclipse.
