Actually you got that part wrong... There's a lot of customizations being done as part of ./artemis create... For example, clustered, non clustered, HTTP PORT, ports, what users, security... and we can even add more options to it. So, adding a --docker would allow users to create a very customized version of a docker instance. And the maven plugins we created as part of the examples on 1.1.0 would get all the benefit of such a new feature. > *What about creating an image of an already customized instance?* > > you could have a lot of customizations.. > > Personally I would create one or two images, the one I already created and > potentially another one customized for clustering. > > I don't think it would be just one or two
