What is the difference between plugins and dependencies?
A Maven plugin is an addition you can utilize to create your artifact (maven-jar-plugin is used to make a jar out of your compiled classes and resources). A library required by the application you are building during compilation, test, or runtime is known as a dependency.
| Maven Plugin | Maven Dependency |
|---|---|
| Plugins are software components that extend the functionality of another software application. | Dependencies are external libraries or modules used to build and run a software project. |
| Handling Plugin is usually difficult | Managing a dependency is comparatively easy. |
| Used to create jar files and compile code. | Reproducible builds are created and maintained |
