+# maven-docker-compose-example-project
+
+An example project showing how to run integration tests for a Java project using Maven.
+The integration test environment is defined in the `docker-compose.yml`.
+The app under test is packaged into a docker container via the `Dockerfile`
+
+## Usage
+
+```
+./mvnw clean package
+```
+
+## Links
