Creating an Eclipse Che instance from a local directory

Build Docker container

$ build.sh  (on Unix)
> build.bat (on Windows)

Run container

Check no docker Eclipse Che container is alive and kill it if any

$ docker ps -a

Clone a folder

$ git clone https://github.com/che-samples/web-java-spring-petclinic

Go into this checkout directory

$ cd web-java-spring-petclinic

Run script

docker run -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
           -v "$PWD":"$PWD" --rm eclipse/che-file \
           $PWD <init|up>

note: if Eclipse Che is already started, it does not handle yet this state
