Running unit and integration tests

The examples presented in this repo need to use a docker-engine/docker-machine in order to run.

This is because they make use of the testcontainers project.

I tested this using Docker Desktop for mac and on an ubuntu-unity machine. As long as the docker-machine/docker-engine is running, the maven build shoud also work.

Using embedded alternatives revealed to be quite cumbersome, inefficient and slow.

For more info on docker desktop please check their website.

For learning how to install docker in ubuntu please check their website.

When this is ready, just run:

make build

or

mvn clean install
