Article was updated on Nov. 12th with the video published on YouTube.

On Monday I had the chance to give a Tools In Action talk about Docker Tooling for Java EE Developers. After a quick introduction about the main concepts of Docker (images, containers, daemon, clients and registries), I gave a demo of the tooling that we’ve been working on in the Linux Tools and JBoss Tools team.

The goal of the demo was to deploy and debug the "HTML5 Kitchen Sink" quick start application from JBoss Central in a container running WildFly and linked to another container running PostgreSQL.

The demo showed how a user can:

  • Connect to a Docker Machine.

  • Pull images from Docker Hub.

  • Build custom images from a Dockerfile (as we needed to customized WildFly to include the PostgreSQL driver and datasource configuration)

  • Run images by configuring environment variables, links to other containers and data volumes.

  • Open a web browser on the published ports.

  • See the container logs streamed in the Eclipse console.

  • Create and configure a server adapter in the Servers View to deploy the application in the container data volume.

As explained during the demo, the Docker tooling is available from the Linux Tools project at Eclipse.org and is also bundled in JBoss Tools and Developer Studio, so you can get it from the update sites or from the marketplace.

Slides for the demo are available on Slidehare.

As Devoxx decided to stop Parleys and publish all talks for free on Youtube just after they were recorded, you can already watch the presentation here:

As usual, feedback on the Docker tooling is much appreciated, so don’t hesitate to contact us on linuxtools-dev@eclipse.org or on jbosstools-dev@jboss.org

Enjoy!

Happy to report that the Developer Experience and Tooling group are looking for a user experience lead.

Here is what we are looking for:

  • A senior to principal level interaction designer who has experience working end-to-end in user experience

  • Someone with good leadership skills

  • Great listening skills to help them learn from our stakeholders and experts what it is that we can offer to developers for a tooling solution

  • A bold personality & outgoing manner that will help this person pull together a UX vision and get teams working towards that user experience vision for developers

  • A person who either has past development experience, or feels comfortable with technologies and generally understands development toolchains

This person will work on improving developer experience in Eclipse based tooling and beyond. Meaning it also covers command line tools, web based tooling and anything in between making up the developer experience.

Plenty of work to start on - please share the link if you know someone that would be interested in helping us making opensource development tools more than just functional but also awesome to use.

Note: the job posting do list Westford location, but for the right candidate we are happy to consider many locations worldwide (anywhere there is a Red Hat office), as well as working from home.

Have fun!
