Takari Smart Builder

Set it up

with latest Maven 3.9.x line setting it up is simple.

Create in project root a file .mvn/extensions.xml with following content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<extensions>
    <extension>
        <groupId>io.takari.maven</groupId>
        <artifactId>takari-smart-builder</artifactId>
        <version>0.6.5</version>
    </extension>
</extensions>

This will make Maven load the Smart Builder extension (will resolve it first time). Then to use it, do this:

$ mvn -b smart -T2C

Or alternatively, create .mvn/maven.config file (and place each configuration on separate line):

-b
smart
-T2C

And that it is.
