m2-repo-carina

Helper image with a pre-warmed Maven local repository for Carina and Cucumber executor tasks.

ESG starts this container as a non-essential sidecar and shares /root/.m2/repository with the executor. The image entrypoint exits immediately (0); its job is only to seed that volume so Maven tests skip a cold dependency download.

Built from maven:3.9-eclipse-temurin-17. ESG currently uses m2-repo-carina:2.0.

What it caches

During the image build it clones and runs:

• carina-demo (esg-cache branch, -Dsuite=api)
• cucumber-demo (main branch, -Dsuite=helloWorld)

Both trees are deleted after mvn finishes. Only /root/.m2/repository remains.

Build

docker build --platform=linux/amd64 -t m2-repo-carina:<ver> .
