-			These 3 plugins handle the development lifecycle with respect to flyway and jooq.
-			First, mariadb4j-maven-plugin starts a temporary MariaDB instance.
-			Second, flyway applies migrations to this database.
-			Third, jooq reads the schema and generates table and column references based on it.
-			Finally, mariadb4-maven-plugin stops the MariaDB instance.
-
-			Points of interest:
-			* The flyway and jooq plugins are both run in the generate-sources phase. As a result,
-			  the ordering of the plugin declarations is significant.
-			* There are no 'pre-generate-sources' or 'post-generate-sources' phases in Maven,
-			  so 'initialize' and 'generate-resources' are instead used for starting and stopping
-			  the temporary MariaDB instance.
