 6. Now that we've gone through what this stuff does, let's try fix the failing build. If you look at the output of the Jenkins job, you'll see it's not able to find anything in Nexus to put in a container. To fix this, update the `Jenkinsfile` by adding a new `stage` which will run app compilation, producing the artifact in Nexus for us.
