Apache Maven Build Tool Expert Skill - The foundation of Java dependency management and project structure.

Core Mandates

• BOM Management: Always prefer BOM (Bill of Materials) to manage versions (e.g., quarkus-bom, jackson-bom) to avoid dependency hell.
• Dependency Scope: Rigorously use compile, provided, runtime, and test scopes for cleaner artifacts.
• Transitive Discipline: Use mvn dependency:tree to identify and exclude conflicting transitive dependencies.
• Reproducible Builds: Lock down plugin versions in <pluginManagement>.
