OK, that sounds promising. I'm currently installing the 1.8 OpenJDK RPM from CentOS (the same as the base image), and then a specific upstream Maven release with wget (the same as the default maven image on DockerHub). However, looking at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/epel7 made me realise there is actually a base maven package in the CentOS repos, since there's one in RHEL, and sure enough, it's there in http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/os/x86_64/Packages/ Does anyone know if there's a way to use maven to upgrade itself the way you can use "python -m pip install --upgrade pip" to upgrade pip? If so, that might be nicer than downloading a specific tarball from the apache.org archive server. Regards, Nick. P.S. Searching on Google for "centos maven" doesn't provide any result that indicates that "yum install maven" will just work these days (even though it's a slightly older version). -- Nick Coghlan | [email protected] | Brisbane, Australia _______________________________________________ Container-tools mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/container-tools
