Using this library in Docker

You can use the provided Dockerfile and POM to help test issues you have with the SDK.

1. Install Docker
   • Mac: https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-mac/install/
   • Windows: https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/install/
2. Add the dependencies and code you'd like to test

   • If you're testing a simple project, you can edit the DockerTest.java file directly. Everything's set up to pull in the lastest version of the ibm-watson package and run that file when building the image.

   • If you'd like to use your own files, feel free to add them. Just be sure to edit the execution line in the Dockerfile to run your main class:

     RUN mvn -e exec:java -Dexec.mainClass="com.ibm.<MAIN_CLASS>"
     

     If you import a project with a different group ID, you'll need to change that in the provided pom.xml as well.

   • For more information on dockerfile construction please visit https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/builder/

3. Build the Docker image
   • From the directory with the Dockerfile, run docker build --tag=<your-tag> .
   • You should be able to verify that everything worked properly based on the output!
