It also mentions practical lab-heavy sessions and modular customization based on team needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Format mentioned<\/th><th>How it is described in the source<\/th><th>Practical note<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>On-site workshop<\/td><td>Described as currently offered exclusively on-site, with 1-day

progression follows the Maven lifecycle from local validation to artifact publication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"mermaid\">\nflowchart TD\n    A[Update code and pom] --> B[Run mvn clean test]\n    B
