Roland Huß thanks for the response mate, I do agree with your argument on fabric8io docker plugin. Nothing against it, but my point was its kind of a bit more learning curve for people who are starting out on container deployment with Maven. They have to go through the plugin documentation and look into new syntax which the plugin uses for managing different Docker commands. Due to that IMHO I think creating the container deployment workflow and customizing it according to their needs is little complex with other plugins. That’s why I said this solution is more straight forward and easy. :)
