I think this is good and good for end users who want to play geode. Geode is an
application and it is in a container. Make sense.
But IMHO "Geode build environment" is yet another "application" and it should
be different from the first one.
Thus this ticket to create yet another Dockerfile for specific to build.

Interesting. I thought it is common to externalize the source code in host
machine. But what if your host is Windows?, what if a new line code (CRLF) is
different? I never thought about it.
That said, some major projects, like Hadoop
https://github.com/apache/hadoop/blob/trunk/start-build-env.sh#L45 seem to use
this approach so is it safe to say to volume the source code?

> geode build is on gradle and seems very tidy but it still requires third
> party libraries, like Java.
> Let's have a Docker environment so that at least we have an reliable
> immutable environment and we can use it on CI on builds.apache.org
> https://builds.apache.org/view/E-G/view/Geode/
> (From my experience, It is a bit of pain to find a right environment on
> builds.a.o but Docker is a cure so far.)
