https://github.com/mgreau/docker4dev-tennistour-app is a good example of using Java EE 7 / Angular application to show how to use Docker for Java Development

Arun Gupta wrote many excellent posts on how to use Docker to build Java apps: http://blog.arungupta.me/docker-tooling-eclipse-video/ on Eclipse tooling for Docker, http://blog.arungupta.me/deploy-wildfly-docker-eclipse/using Wildfly

https://github.com/chanezon/docker-tips/tree/master/orchestr... is an example leveraging Docker Compose and swarm for a Spring Boot application.

I hope these helps get you started using containers for development.
