Opinion is an open-source platform for surveys and feedback workflows. This repository hosts the parent Maven POM that keeps every Opinion module aligned on one build, quality, and release process.

• share a single source for build, dependency, and publishing conventions
• enforce quality gates and release checks across Opinion services
• document the minimum setup needed to work on Opinion modules

Reference the parent from any module and inherit the shared configuration:

<parent>
  <groupId>com.inqwise.opinion</groupId>
  <artifactId>opinion-parent</artifactId>
  <version><!-- use the latest release --></version>
</parent>

• install the parent locally: mvn clean install
• run the standard test suite: mvn test
• surface dependency and plugin updates: mvn compile -Pdisplay-updates
• prepare artifacts for Central publishing: mvn clean install -Psonatype-oss-release

Use a current Java LTS release for development and the latest LTS (or newer) when publishing.

• Agent-specific guidance lives in AGENTS.md
• Release automation details are in the repository CI workflows
• Security contacts and reporting instructions are documented in SECURITY.md
• Dependency and plugin stability rules are maintained in maven-version-rules.xml
