Jib Maven Plugin, Docker Desktop, Containers

In order to try and get my Spring Boot App running in a container, next step was installing Docker Desktop and looking at Jib Maven Plugin, which was created by Google.

It seems have been created to support pushing Containers to Google Container Registry (GCR), but also has first class support for:

•  Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR)
• Azure Container Registry (ACR) 
• JFrog Artifactory
• Docker Hub

As of today (2022-11-05), the latest version is 3.3.1.  

I went to the GitHub Readme Page for Jib Maven Plugin documentation: https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/jib/tree/master/jib-maven-plugin and tried running the command-line quickstart to build to my Docker Daemon running on my dev machine:

./mvnw compile com.google.cloud.tools:jib-maven-plugin:3.3.1:dockerBuild -Dimage=demo-test-app

running the command-line quickstart to build to my Docker Daemon running on my dev machine.

I did this and verified that I could see the Docker Image in Docker Desktop (a bit confused on the "Created" date being 53 years ago lol, but that's a different mystery to solve later).
