Spring AI Community Parent POM

Optional parent POM that provides shared configuration for Maven Central publishing.

Usage

Projects can optionally inherit from this parent to get pre-configured:

• central-publishing-maven-plugin with autoPublish=true
• maven-gpg-plugin with loopback pinentry for CI/CD
• maven-source-plugin and maven-javadoc-plugin
• flatten-maven-plugin for CI-friendly versioning
• spring-javaformat-maven-plugin for consistent code formatting

Option 1: Inherit as Parent

<parent>
    <groupId>org.springaicommunity</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-ai-community-parent</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.0</version>
</parent>

Option 2: Copy Configuration

Projects that cannot use parent inheritance can copy the relevant plugin configurations from this POM into their own pom.xml.
