Key Benefits

The compiler plugin is set to use JDK 17+.
War plugin set to run without complaining about web.xml.
All the dependencies are aligned to work together smoothly without conflicts.
Ability to load Maven properties from maven.properties file.
Proper exclusions of dependencies such as Tomcat Embedded libraries and other runtime libraries, to save developers and deployers time thinking about run-time dependencies issues.
Enable snapshots by default, which could be useful for the internal development of components such as libraries and microservices (you can disable them if of course needed).
