Can we bump all of those to 2.5.7? No major changes, just to be up-to-date

| ## Build inside a Docker container | ||
|
|
||
| If your build process is executed in CI within a Docker container, perform the following steps to ensure that the build can access Git information: | ||
|
|
||
| 1. Add the following text to your `.dockerignore` file. This ensures that the build process is able to access a subset of the `.git` folder, enabling it to determine the git commit hash and repository URL. | ||
|
|
||
| ``` | ||
| !.git/HEAD | ||
| !.git/config | ||
| !.git/refs | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| 2. Add the following line of code to your `Dockerfile`. Ensure that it is placed before the actual build is run. | ||
|
|
||
| ``` | ||
| COPY .git ./.git | ||
| ``` |

I'm not sure why this section was here before. But now that we have plugins that need the full .git folder I don't think it's up to date.
We can recommend something like this:
Use a (named context)[https://docs.docker.com/build/concepts/context/#named-contexts] to access your .git folder at build time.
Add your .git folder to a named build context
docker build [...] --build-context dotgit=<path to your local .git folder>
Build your app with your .git folder mounted at the right place
RUN --mount=from=dotgit,target=<path to where you expect .git to be in your build container> (mvn|gradle) build
