Maven in Docker Container. Error: No goals have been specified for this build-CodePudding

I am trying to run a Maven Spring project in a docker file. As a Maven/Spring newbie, I am not sure why the executable doesn't run in a Docker container. The same build works after I "Clean and Build" in NetBeans IDE and run the java file manually from the IDE.

The error I get when trying to run the same in Docker via docker-compose build and docker-compose run is:

No goals have been specified for this build.

(Full error below, together with POM, dockerfile and docker-compose file)

I have copied the built .jar file (myapp-1.0.jar) into the mymaven folder.

What do I need to do to be able to build and run the executable programme in a Docker container?

Any help here is appreciated :)

Dockerfile:

FROM maven:3.6.3 AS maven

WORKDIR /usr/src/app
COPY . /usr/src/app
RUN mvn install 

FROM adoptopenjdk/openjdk11:alpine-jre

WORKDIR /opt/app

COPY --from=maven mymaven/myapp-1.0.jar /opt/app/

ENTRYPOINT ["java","-jar","myapp-1.0.jar"]

docker-compose.yaml:

  mymaven:
    image: maven
    depends_on:
      - server1
      - server2
    networks:
      - mynetwork

The docker-compose file was pointing to the standard Docker image and not the build folder with the dockerfile.
