There is still some work and the screenshots showed above may still evolve as we add more features, but we hope that this blog entry will give you a taste of what’s coming soon in Eclipse with regards to Docker tooling.

While the code will be hosted in Linux Tools project at Eclipse.org, we intend to also ship it as part of JBoss Developer Studio 9 and JBoss Tools 4.3 later this year.

We also created a JIRA component to track this work-in-progress in the scope of JBoss Tools, including some issues with mockups.

Beyond this basic Docker tooling we are looking at integrating launching servers and even native CDT builds on docker containers, but this will be the subject of future posts on this blog ;-)

As usual, feel free to provide us with feedback on our forum, on JIRA or on IRC. Questions, comments and suggestions are always welcome!
