Create DEVELOPER.md for the Maven projects

Generate a

DEVELOPER.md

file that combines a fixed base template with dynamic sections derived from analysing the project

pom.xml

What is covered in this Skill?

Base template reproduction (verbatim)
Plugin goals reference: table of
```
./mvnw
```
goals per explicitly declared plugin, max 8 goals each
Maven Profiles table: profile ID, activation trigger, representative command, description
Submodules table (multi-module projects only)

Constraints

Before generating any content, read every pom.xml in the workspace. Only include plugins explicitly declared in the project POMs — never plugins inherited from parent POMs or the Maven super-POM unless redeclared.

MANDATORY: Read every
```
pom.xml
```

SCOPE: Execute steps 1–5 in order. Omit Profiles section if no profiles; omit Submodules section if not multi-module
BEFORE APPLYING: Read the reference for the base template content, plugin catalog, and detailed constraints for each step
