Funnily enough, one of the first containers I did on my current job was to package a legacy Java app.
It was pretty old, and required a very specific version of java, not available on modern systems. Plus some config files in global locations.
Packaging it in the docker container made it so much easier to use.
That makes sense, but still - there is nothing OS-specific here, like system lib or even a database, it's just the JRE version that you needed to package into the container, or am I missing something?
