2. Remove the Container: Remove the container using the command docker rm <container_name>.
3. Pull the Base Image: Pull the base image of your application (e.g., openjdk:8) using the command docker pull openjdk:8.
4. Create a New Container: Create a new container from the base image using the command docker run -it --name <container_name> openjdk:8.
5. Install Java: Install Java within the new container using the command apt-get update && apt-get install -y openjdk-8-jdk.
6. Verify Java Installation: Verify that Java is installed correctly by running the command java -version within the container.
