Maven - Taming the Beast
summary
Covers concrete fixes for Maven pain: identify unused and transitive jars with mvn dependency:analyze, inspect the full dependency graph with mvn dependency:tree, and unfold inherited settings with mvn help:effective-pom. Explains snapshot/version pitfalls, Nexus caching and one corrupted-HTML-instead-of-JAR authentication failure, scope and dependency mediation rules, and recommends retries like mvn clean install. Shows parallel build flags (claims a 30-minute build drops to ~8 minutes using -T1C) and module selection (-pl, -am, -amd).
