spring - Storing base java project inside child project jar (maven, docker) -

thanks having @ this! max

in future i'm going building lots of microservices based upon same parent java project. these microservices going using spring cloud , docker. have base java project , child project. main each microservices should inherited parent project. till i've been using

    mvn clean package assembly:single 

for building jar microservice parent store inside jar. run

    java -cp microservice.jar path.to.parent.main 

which working fine. i'm sure it's not best way go , i'd love advice improvements.

my problem want use docker:build

    mvn clean package docker:build 

after packaging microservice using docker:build, how specify path parent project's main since parent project no longer being stored in jar made docker:build.

microservice (child)
