[DEFECT] Docker Maven Plugin fails when running `test-integration-ide` command

[jcastro-dotcms]

Problem Statement

Found when working on fix for:

• Implement sessionStorage-based queue persistence for traditional web pages in Analytics SDK #34357

In a local environment, executing the test-integration-ide command from our justfile is throwing an error in the terminal. This is keeping developers from easily running and debugging Integration Tests from the IDE.

Steps to Reproduce

• Set up a local dotCMS development environment from the main branch.
• First, compile dotCMS as usual.
• Execute the test-integration-stop command from the justfile.
• You'll get the following error in the terminal:
