Question using maven template and docker template

I have just arrived on a project which is in the transformation phase and I would like to set up two templates that you propose. Maven and docker. I have two approaches :) but I need your advice. 1st approach: I would like to do the build and the releases + publish on the maven artifactory repo and then make a docker image from the maven release and publish on the docker artifactory repo. This allows you to make jars with maven and build an image from these jars. Am I good at my thinking? Then I wonder how to use the git repo with the Maven release part using gitflow?

2nd simpler approach: my deliverable is a docker image so I publish stable or unstable images on the docker repo. So starting from this principle I can do gitflow and ignore the versioning of my poms with maven. What do you think of this approach?

Indeed with to be continuous, both the Maven template and the Docker template support the notion of release.

Personally I find using both releases a bit cumbersome: what is your reference ? Maven releases or Docker images ?

I guess some might have good reasons of using both but I would go the 2nd approach (Docker releases only). By the way, this is a simpler DevOps workflow (a commit on master triggers a release, optionally a deployment).
