Git is removed from the latest maven and openjdk Docker images

It turns out that the docker-library has changed the base-image of openjdk:12 and above to an oraclelinux that is lacking tools such as GIT. In turn the latest official maven images depends on the latest openjdk and therefore lacks git.

docker run -it maven:3.6.3 git Unable to find image 'maven:3.6.3' locally 3.6.3: Pulling from library/maven Digest: sha256:db9e541333a9dd00a50a515a53c5111b0def215ba84d46540a8489e0958f2038 Status: Downloaded newer image for maven:3.6.3 /usr/local/bin/mvn-entrypoint.sh: line 50: exec: git: not found

Many of us still use maven for building Java projects and much of the CI/CD sphere is using docker images to run our pipelines which includes cloning, maven releases and so forth.

The image maintainers of maven are open to adding git given that it has enough issue votes. So, if you want to still be able to run git operations in your maven images, let's vote!
