Description

Please see here for more information: https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/jib

The goal here would be to reduce build time (by a lot; no more Gradle build inside a Docker container) and getting independent of CLI tools (and the Docker daemon); and we could get rid off the separate Dockerfile, could reference just the Docker image in docker-compose.yml (instead of using it as yet another build file).

There are some nice bonuses using this plugin: JIB will create a layered Docker image which should help reducing the size of the image.
