On linux docker needs root user abilitation to run commands and this is an issue in a context of an sbt build. I have not found any statisfying solution to resolve that but only some workarounds. And I think that we should implement all of the available workarounds and let the user decide which one to implement.
Here are the workarounds that i have found:

• prompt for sudo password each time a command is launched
• add the current user to the docker group
• pass the sudo password to the commands via a configuration (system conf or a file)
• generate a script that runs the commands and define it as passwordless in sudo configuration

there are probably bettter solutions but that's what i have found actually!

Environnemental variable construction

    val envVars = environmentVariables.map(p => s"-e ${p._1}='${p._2}'").mkString(" ")

e ("a", "value a")

The variable a is equal to 'value a' and not just value a

When a project uses this plugin on MacOS X or any OS using boot2docker,
the compilation will fail if boot2docker is not up, instead of just failing at the precise "phase" (ex. it-test) using docker.
