The main issue I had with the spotify and jolokia maven plugins is that 
they don't support unix sockets (eg for local builds). The docker daemon 
defaults to unix sockets, which is the more secure option.

So to use these plugins, you need to manually configure your system to 
use tcp instead of the unix sockets. Which if you do it the easy way, 
opens up your machine to an easy root vulnerability. Or, to do it the 
proper way, manually setup all your certificates and handle things over ssl.

But, I guess I can give it another look to see just how difficult it is 
to manually set it all up. Overall I really got the impression that you 
gain more control over just building it manually yourself and then using 
a script to push out the images after.
