@achristianson I have mixed emotions about incorporating this into the
build process but I am ok with it if that is what most people think. My
original thought was that this would be a more singular build that we as a
community release for end users to download. However from this discussion it
seems like most people might be more interested in the build process approach.
In that case it should be pretty simple to do a little maven magic to
inject the current version into the Dockerfile and use the docker-maven-plugin.
I do believe this might make maintenance on older Docker images a little
harder since they would be tightly coupled to a release/branch however. Does
anyone more seasoned than myself have ideas about how to make that process
easier?
