Summary
In this chapter, we focused on Maven plugins. Maven only provides a build framework while the Maven plugins perform the actual tasks. Maven has a large rich set of plugins, and the chances are very low that you have to write your own custom plugin. The chapter covered some of the most used Maven plugins and later explained how to develop your own custom Maven plugin.
In the next chapter, we will focus on Maven assemblies. There we will discuss the Maven assembly plugin, assembly descriptor, and filters.
