Maven configuration is a cottage industry in itself. I have not seen developers who know maven from first principles. Despite taking many courses, books, tutorials etc I just dare not touch pom.xml beyond adding/deleting/updating dependencies. Even then every couple of months maven and IDE combination will run into obscure build issues that will not resolve until all the local maven repos are nuked from desktop.
