Make developer-image more beginner-friendly #86

This issue is mainly about the websphere developer images hosted on dockerhub: https://hub.docker.com/r/ibmcom/websphere-traditional/

Comparing to other application-server's docker images, I think the default settings could be improved for developers to get started and more easily deploy a JavaEE application. I have derived my own docker image that I sometimes use in demos or to very quickly try out a feature on websphere: https://github.com/38leinaD/docker-images/blob/master/websphere-9/configure.py

Is this something we could have with the official image? I think this could considerable lower the barrier for someone to get started with JavaEE on Websphere.

hey @38leinaD - sorry for the long delay. The link you shared seems to be gone - do you have an updated version of the python script? It definitely sounds interesting, and I agree 100% that we can simplify the user experience of this container.

Great to hear. Here is the updated link. https://github.com/38leinaD/docker-images/blob/master/was-9/configure.py

awesome, thank you @38leinaD. we're starting to make some changes in https://github.com/WASdev/ci.docker.websphere-traditional/blob/master/developer/README.md, starting with focusing our support on v9 only.
