I am using this maven docker plugin
https://github.com/wouterd/docker-maven-plugin
My pom.xml file looks like
<plugin>

when I run my build using mvn verify -e -X I get error

The thing I don't understand is "connection refused to what"? which resource is not connectable? if I knew perhaps I could have troubleshooted this.
I haven't used that plugin but from he docs it says that it uses the docker HTTP API to talk to the deamon. By default the HTTP API is disabled (as it can be a security risk, and uses a file socket). To enable the HTTP API you'll have to change the startup parameters of the daemon and add the parameter -H tcp://0.0.0.0:2375 (or specify an ip rather than 0.0.0.0). This is explained on the docker daemon docs and on the plugin documentation
The above applies to Linux (as docker runs natively there). On Windows or Mac you'll be using docker machine. In those cases, you need to set 3 environment variables which you can get from running the command docker-machine env default and then run the maven command.
