Describe the bug

I recently updated from Quarkus 3.8.3 to 3.25.2

Now my CI pipeline on Jenkins run inside a docker container is failing, because it cannot detect a container runtime. But I don't need one, I am not building a container image. I build a jar and run the tests.

Adding the listed switches did not help:
-Dquarkus.container-image.build=false
-Dquarkus.container-image.builder=none
-Dquarkus.native.enabled=false
-Dquarkus.native.container-build=false \

Can anyone assist if this is a bug or am I missing a configuration?
It has been working fine with 3.8.3

Expected behavior

Build the application jar and run tests as in 3.8.3 without the need of a container runtime.

Actual behavior

Build fails because no container runtime is present
