fwiw: I did not come into this looking for another CI/CD tool. I came
into this looking for an IAM tool (and I found Syncope). When Syncope
install documentation called for Maven that’s when the confusion arose.
If Maven would add value to my CI/CD pipeline I am not against this. But
note, I wasn’t looking for that when I went to the Syncope documentation.If I can use syncope without having to deal with Maven after that it is
probably best. Unless I can tell how Maven will help in the other area
(CI/CD). Otherwise Maven only came up when looking up Syncope.I don’t understand the scope of Apache Maven software in relation to Apache Syncope software. I thought that Syncope was strictly IAM (identity and access management) software; but, upon reading the documentation, I see that Maven is referred to in the installation guide for Syncope.
So is Maven just being used to install Syncope, or is Maven intended to work alongside Syncope and extend it’s functionality?
I had already chosen Jenkins/Ansible for my CI/CD pipeline. Maven seems to overlap this functionality somehow.
My question is about how or even if to integrate Maven into my CI/CD pipeline OR Can Maven be used just to install Syncope then removed from the system? If the latter, then what, if anything, do I lose in functionality?

PS: I’m sorry – some clarifycation..
My question is about what to do with Maven?! I have to use Maven to get
Syncope? That’s 1. I have to keep using Maven if I wan to use Syncope?
That’s 2. I have to integrate Maven into my CI/CD process if I want to
use Syncope??? That’s 3…
