Delivered comprehensive documentation for the Maven Dependency Plugin and strengthened test infrastructure; integrated Hedera Solo Action into hiero-sdk-java CI/CD to streamline builds and reduce reliance on local node setup. These changes improve clarity for users, stabilize tests, and accelerate feedback in CI.

May 2025 monthly summary for apache/maven-dependency-plugin focusing on build stability and observability. Delivered targeted dependency cleanup to prevent conflicts and refined logging to improve troubleshooting without altering functionality. These changes reduce maintenance overhead, improve CI reliability, and enhance the experience for downstream users relying on the plugin.

Implemented granular repository selection for ORT runs in the ort-server, enabling optional repositoryIds field in the CreateOrtRun API to specify exact repositories for a product run. This work involved data model changes, API logic updates, documentation enhancements, and the addition of integration tests for repository-level filtering. The feature was committed with 50825fdf468dd595c88d1f91ba160534d1f22728.
