Apache Maven Beginner to Guru - Maven Bill of Materials (BOM) Common Build Plug-ins

The video tutorial discusses the use of common build plugins and configurations in Maven projects, particularly focusing on Spring Boot projects. It highlights the importance of configuring the Maven Clean plugin for automatic cleaning during the build lifecycle. The tutorial also covers the management of microservices by centralizing common configurations, which simplifies the process and reduces redundancy. The use of Mapstruct and Project Lombok is also mentioned, emphasizing the need for specific configurations when using both together.

What is one of the main benefits of declaring common build plugins in Maven projects?

• It increases the complexity of the build process.

• It allows for centralized configuration management.

• It reduces the need for version control.

• It eliminates the need for testing.

Why is it beneficial to configure the Maven Clean plugin to run during the initialization phase?

• It speeds up the build process significantly.

• It ensures that old compiled files are removed early.

• It allows for parallel processing of builds.

• It reduces the need for manual testing.

What is a key advantage of setting up custom configurations for Maven plugins?

• It requires less memory usage.

• It makes the build process more complex.

• It eliminates the need for any plugins.

• It allows for more flexible build processes.

How does centralizing common configurations in a Maven parent POM benefit microservice management?

• It requires more manual intervention.

• It simplifies the management by reducing redundancy.

• It increases the number of configurations needed.

• It complicates the build process.

What configuration is necessary when using both Mapstruct and Project Lombok together?

• They cannot be used together.

• A configuration processor must be set up.

• A special compiler plugin must be used.

• No configuration is needed.
