How do I configure Maven plugins for my project?

To configure Maven plugins, you need to add them to your project's pom.xml file under the <build> section.

Can you give me an example of a plugin configuration?

Sure! Here's an example for the Maven Compiler Plugin:

<build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>3.8.1</version>
            <configuration>
                <source>1.8</source>
                <target>1.8</target>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>

What if I want to use multiple plugins?

You can add multiple <plugin> entries within the <plugins> section of your pom.xml. Just ensure each plugin has its own configuration.

Are there any best practices for using Maven plugins?

Yes, it's best to keep your plugins updated, use the latest stable versions, and only include necessary plugins to keep your build efficient.
