## What it is
A Maven plugin that integrates Docker image building, tagging, and pushing into the Maven build lifecycle using Dockerfiles. It lets Maven goals like `mvn package` and `mvn deploy` build and push Docker images and supports inter-project image dependencies in the Maven reactor.

## Use cases
- build docker images from maven builds
- push docker images with mvn deploy
- integrate docker builds into maven lifecycle
- run multi-service integration tests with docker images in maven reactor
- tag docker images with project version automatically

## When to choose
- you use Maven and want Docker image builds tied to standard Maven phases
- you want simple Dockerfile-based builds without extra abstraction
- you need Maven reactor ordering across services with image dependencies

## When to avoid
- you need active development, new features, or non-critical bug fixes
- you use Gradle or a non-JVM build tool
- you want a plugin that builds images without a Dockerfile (e.g., Jib-style)

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin

- function: build-tool, deployment, container-runtime, ci-cd
- domain: developer-tools
