Module 17: Professional Development Practices
Build Tools: Maven & Gradle
Manage dependencies, plugins, and multi-module projects.
Understand Maven coordinates (groupId, artifactId, version) and dependency scopes (compile, test, provided).
Gradle’s DSL configures plugins, tasks, and dependency locking; use the wrapper for reproducible builds.
Automate static analysis (SpotBugs, Checkstyle) via build plugins integrated with CI.
