Docker tips

Rather than struggling to install various build tools on your workstation, consider leveraging Dockerized tools. For example, instead of installing giter8 (which you will use infrequently), run a Dockerized giter8 like so:

$ docker run --rm -v $(PWD):/data -it gasserk/jdk7-conscript-g8 g8 scalatra/scalatra-sbt
organization [com.example]: org.worldcon75
name [My Scalatra Web App]: api
version [0.1.0-SNAPSHOT]:
servlet_name [MyScalatraServlet]: ApiServlet
package [com.example.app]: org.worldcon75.api
scala_version [2.11.7]: 2.11.6
sbt_version [0.13.9]: 0.13.8
scalatra_version [maven(org.scalatra, scalatra_2.11)]:
