CI with Maven, Jenkins and Artifactory

• Build Automation (Maven): Automates the process of compiling, testing, and packaging code, and managing project dependencies.
• Continuous Integration (Jenkins): Orchestrates CI/CD workflows by automating builds, tests, and deployments based on code changes.
• Artifact Management (Artifactory): Stores and manages build artifacts, dependencies, and binaries, ensuring consistency and accessibility.
• Integration: Seamlessly integrates Maven builds with Jenkins CI pipelines and publishes artifacts to Artifactory.
