-# This Dockerfile is used in order to build a container that runs the Quarkus application in JVM mode
 #
-# Before building the container image run:
+# Based on a base image defined in the EF dockerfile project under https://github.com/EclipseFdn/dockerfiles/blob/master/java-api-base/Dockerfile.
 #
-# ./mvnw package
+# This image centralizes the base image version as well as any security patches to reduce the need to update all APIs manually in case of vulnerabilities or minor updates.
 #
-# Then, build the image with:
-#
-# docker build -f src/main/docker/Dockerfile.jvm -t quarkus/code-with-quarkus-jvm .
-#
-# Then run the container using:
-#
-# docker run -i --rm -p 8080:8080 quarkus/code-with-quarkus-jvm
-#
-# If you want to include the debug port into your docker image
-# you will have to expose the debug port (default 5005 being the default) like this :  EXPOSE 8080 5005.
-# Additionally you will have to set -e JAVA_DEBUG=true and -e JAVA_DEBUG_PORT=*:5005
-# when running the container
-#
-# Then run the container using :
-#
-# docker run -i --rm -p 8080:8080 quarkus/code-with-quarkus-jvm
-#
-# This image uses the `run-java.sh` script to run the application.
-# This scripts computes the command line to execute your Java application, and
-# includes memory/GC tuning.
-# You can configure the behavior using the following environment properties:
-# - JAVA_OPTS: JVM options passed to the `java` command (example: "-verbose:class")
-# - JAVA_OPTS_APPEND: User specified Java options to be appended to generated options
-#   in JAVA_OPTS (example: "-Dsome.property=foo")
-# - JAVA_MAX_MEM_RATIO: Is used when no `-Xmx` option is given in JAVA_OPTS. This is
-#   used to calculate a default maximal heap memory based on a containers restriction.
-#   If used in a container without any memory constraints for the container then this
-#   option has no effect. If there is a memory constraint then `-Xmx` is set to a ratio
-#   of the container available memory as set here. The default is `50` which means 50%
-#   of the available memory is used as an upper boundary. You can skip this mechanism by
-#   setting this value to `0` in which case no `-Xmx` option is added.
-# - JAVA_INITIAL_MEM_RATIO: Is used when no `-Xms` option is given in JAVA_OPTS. This
-#   is used to calculate a default initial heap memory based on the maximum heap memory.
-#   If used in a container without any memory constraints for the container then this
-#   option has no effect. If there is a memory constraint then `-Xms` is set to a ratio
-#   of the `-Xmx` memory as set here. The default is `25` which means 25% of the `-Xmx`
-#   is used as the initial heap size. You can skip this mechanism by setting this value
-#   to `0` in which case no `-Xms` option is added (example: "25")
-# - JAVA_MAX_INITIAL_MEM: Is used when no `-Xms` option is given in JAVA_OPTS.
-#   This is used to calculate the maximum value of the initial heap memory. If used in
-#   a container without any memory constraints for the container then this option has
-#   no effect. If there is a memory constraint then `-Xms` is limited to the value set
-#   here. The default is 4096MB which means the calculated value of `-Xms` never will
-#   be greater than 4096MB. The value of this variable is expressed in MB (example: "4096")
-# - JAVA_DIAGNOSTICS: Set this to get some diagnostics information to standard output
-#   when things are happening. This option, if set to true, will set
-#  `-XX:+UnlockDiagnosticVMOptions`. Disabled by default (example: "true").
-# - JAVA_DEBUG: If set remote debugging will be switched on. Disabled by default (example:
-#    true").
-# - JAVA_DEBUG_PORT: Port used for remote debugging. Defaults to 5005 (example: "8787").
-# - CONTAINER_CORE_LIMIT: A calculated core limit as described in
-#   https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/scheduler/sched-bwc.txt. (example: "2")
-# - CONTAINER_MAX_MEMORY: Memory limit given to the container (example: "1024").
-# - GC_MIN_HEAP_FREE_RATIO: Minimum percentage of heap free after GC to avoid expansion.
-#   (example: "20")
-# - GC_MAX_HEAP_FREE_RATIO: Maximum percentage of heap free after GC to avoid shrinking.
-#   (example: "40")
-# - GC_TIME_RATIO: Specifies the ratio of the time spent outside the garbage collection.
-#   (example: "4")
-# - GC_ADAPTIVE_SIZE_POLICY_WEIGHT: The weighting given to the current GC time versus
-#   previous GC times. (example: "90")
-# - GC_METASPACE_SIZE: The initial metaspace size. (example: "20")
-# - GC_MAX_METASPACE_SIZE: The maximum metaspace size. (example: "100")
-# - GC_CONTAINER_OPTIONS: Specify Java GC to use. The value of this variable should
-#   contain the necessary JRE command-line options to specify the required GC, which
-#   will override the default of `-XX:+UseParallelGC` (example: -XX:+UseG1GC).
-# - HTTPS_PROXY: The location of the https proxy. (example: "myuser@127.0.0.1:8080")
-# - HTTP_PROXY: The location of the http proxy. (example: "myuser@127.0.0.1:8080")
-# - NO_PROXY: A comma separated lists of hosts, IP addresses or domains that can be
-#   accessed directly. (example: "foo.example.com,bar.example.com")
-#
