Java 11 application as lightweight docker image
问题 Inspired by question Why is the Java 11 base Docker image so large? (openjdk:11-jre-slim) I found that this topic in Java world is still not settled. As for 07 Dec 2018 there are common issues/pitfalls (discussed in the ticket above): JRE is not distributed as a separate "package". Modules from JDK should be used instead Oracle OpenJDK 11 doesn't support Linux Alpine, so lightweight images can't be easily created In the same time current stable Debian versions still doesn't have Java 11
