java-maven is a JVM build configuration skill from pluginagentmarketplace/custom-plugin-java at version 1.0.0 that produces and validates Maven pom.xml files and Java project structures. The skill supports Spring Boot and general JVM services with configurable strict validation, auto-fix toggles, and environment-specific overrides for development and production. Developers reach for java-maven when scaffolding a new Java service, debugging dependency conflicts, or aligning pom.xml structure with team conventions. Integrations with git, linters, and formatters are enabled by default, and output includes markdown-formatted examples when include_examples is set.

  • Generates production-ready Maven POM files with correct Java 21+ compiler settings
  • Manages Spring Boot dependencies, properties, and packaging configurations
  • Provides environment-specific overrides for development, production, and CI
  • Enables or disables Git, linter, and formatter integrations automatically
  • Outputs validated configuration in markdown with examples included

How it compares

Choose java-maven over generic Java prompts when you need structured pom.xml validation with environment-specific strictness rather than one-off dependency snippets.

FAQ

Does java-maven support Spring Boot projects?

java-maven generates and validates Maven pom.xml configurations specifically for Spring Boot and other JVM-based services. The skill handles dependency declarations, project structure scaffolding, and validation with configurable strict_mode for production environments.

Can java-maven auto-fix pom.xml errors?

java-maven includes an auto_fix setting that is disabled by default. When enabled alongside validation, the skill can correct common pom.xml issues. Production environments default to strict_mode true with warn-level logging for safer validation.

Is Java Maven safe to install?
