 == Packaging OCI Images
 The plugin can create an https://github.com/opencontainers/image-spec[OCI image] from executable jars using https://buildpacks.io[Cloud Native Buildpacks].
 Images can be built using the `bootBuildImage` task.
+
+NOTE: For security reasons, images build and run as non-root users, see https://buildpacks.io/docs/reference/spec/platform-api/#users[this section fore more details].
+
 The task is automatically created when the `java` plugin is applied and is an instance of {boot-build-image-javadoc}[`BootBuildImage`].
 
 NOTE: The `bootBuildImage` task can not be used with a <<packaging-executable-configuring-launch-script, fully executable Spring Boot archive>> that includes a launch script.

 The easiest way to get started is to invoke `mvn spring-boot:build-image` on a project.
 It is possible to automate the creation of an image whenever the `package` phase is invoked, as shown in the following example:
