113 Java Maven Documentation

Documents
113-java-maven-documentation

113 Java Maven Documentation is an Agent Skill for documents published in the majiayu000/claude-skill-registry repository on GitHub: a SKILL.md instruction file an AI agent can load to do this task.

Use when you need to create a DEVELOPER.md file for a Maven project — combining a fixed base template with dynamic sections derived from the project pom.xml, including a Plugin Goals Reference, Maven Profiles table, and Submodules table for multi-module projects. This should trigger for requests such as Create DEVELOPER.md; Generate DEVELOPER.md; Maven project documentation; Add Maven documentation; Plugin goals reference. Part of cursor-rules-java project

QUICK START

How to use this skill

Bring this guide into your coding agent with a prompt tailored to the tool you use.

  1. Open your project in Codex.
  2. Copy and paste the prompt below.
  3. Review files and risks before approving any action.
Prompt to paste
Inspect the Agent Skill at https://github.com/majiayu000/claude-skill-registry/blob/HEAD/skills/other/113-java-maven-documentation/SKILL.md and all supporting files. Report provenance, permissions, scripts, dependencies, and security risks. Propose an exact installation into .agents/skills/113-java-maven-documentation, but wait for my approval before writing files or running scripts.

Copying this prompt does not install or run the skill. Review third-party files before use.

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 ./mvnw goals 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.xml in 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

Workflow

  1. Read all POM files in workspace

Read root and every submodule pom.xml before generating content.

  1. Read documentation reference assets

Read references/113-java-maven-documentation.md to use the base template and plugin catalog constraints exactly.

  1. Assemble DEVELOPER.md base and dynamic sections

Generate DEVELOPER.md with verbatim base template plus dynamic sections: plugin goals, profiles (if any), and submodules (if multi-module).

  1. Enforce plugin scope and section omission rules

Include only explicitly declared plugins and omit Profiles/Submodules sections when not applicable.
