npx claudepluginhub thebushidocollective/han --plugin mavenGuides Maven build lifecycles (default, clean, site), phases, goals, profiles, and customization via XML for Java projects. Includes common commands and bindings.
Assists with Maven for Java: initializes projects, configures pom.xml, manages dependencies and scopes, sets up builds/plugins/profiles, troubleshoots errors.
Provides Maven-specific conventions for running tests, building, managing dependencies, and project structure when pom.xml is present.
