## About

# 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 `` or `` — 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.

2. **Read documentation reference assets**

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

3. **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).

4. **Enforce plugin scope and section omission rules**

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