Create DEVELOPER.md for the Maven projects
Generate a DEVELOPER.md file that combines a fixed base template with dynamic sections derived from analysing the project pom.xml.
What is covered in this Skill?
- Base template reproduction (verbatim)
- Plugin goals reference: table of
./mvnwgoals per explicitly declared plugin, max 8 goals each - Maven Profiles table: profile ID, activation trigger, representative command, description
- Submodules table (multi-module projects only)
Constraints
Before generating any content, read every pom.xml in the workspace. Only include plugins explicitly declared in the project POMs — never plugins inherited from parent POMs or the Maven super-POM unless redeclared.
- MANDATORY: Read every
pom.xmlin the workspace (root and submodules) before generating any content - PLUGIN SCOPE: Only include plugins explicitly declared in
<build><plugins>or<build><pluginManagement><plugins>— never plugins inherited from parent POMs or the Maven super-POM unless redeclared - SCOPE: Execute steps 1–5 in order. Omit Profiles section if no profiles; omit Submodules section if not multi-module
- BEFORE APPLYING: Read the reference for the base template content, plugin catalog, and detailed constraints for each step
When to use this skill
- Create DEVELOPER.md
- Generate DEVELOPER.md
- Maven project documentation
- Add Maven documentation
- Plugin goals reference
- Maven Profiles table
- Submodules table
