One of Apache Maven's biggest strengths is the massive amount of available and ready-to-use plugins. For almost everything you can think of - there is a plugin. This talk shows using live coding / building, which plugins have proven to be a great addition to our day-to-day projects.

Some highlighted plugins and extensions are the Modernizer Maven Plugin, the Policeman's Forbidden API Checker, the Maven Build Cache, and the Maven BuildTime Profiler. These tools will help you to increase developer productivity, make the build more secure and improve the overall performance of the build.

You will learn how to use these tools to improve your Maven builds and ensure code quality. Finally, you will leave this talk git-repo that includes all the steps and commands shown in the talk, so you can easily add the plugins to your projects today!
