# Java JVM Development

Inspect the build system before editing: `pom.xml`, `build.gradle`, `settings.gradle`, wrapper files, modules, source sets, and tests.

Prefer project-local `./mvnw`, `./gradlew`, or existing Maven/Gradle commands. Run focused compile/test tasks first, keep generated `target/`, `build/`, and `.gradle/` artifacts out of commits, and stop on missing JDK or credential blockers with exact evidence.
