ChangelogJava Style Guide

Each revision is frozen at its own URL, so an agent pointed at /java@2026.10/rules.md keeps the same rules until you bump it. The rule changes below are worked out from the revisions themselves. Also as Markdown.

   Live at /java, not pinned yet · 220 rules

   Appendix A's parent POM now follows section 19's rule that every plugin version lives in the parent's <pluginManagement>, as the template's POM already did:

   • maven-compiler-plugin takes its version from a new maven-compiler-plugin.version property.
   • maven-enforcer-plugin is added to <pluginManagement> with a maven-enforcer-plugin.version property.
   • The enforcer also requires Maven 3.9 or newer (requireMavenVersion), the "Maven too old" check section 19 lists.

   Rule changes since 2026.10
