-        <!-- IMPORTANT:
-            For the nexus deployment to work correctly, the last project in the build order needs to have deployment
-            enabled (maven-deploy-plugin.skip must be false).
-            The reason is that for SNAPSHOT builds the upload is performed by the nexus-staging-maven-plugin
-            after the last project build and EVERYTHING is skipped if this project is not part of the deployment.
-            See the documentation (https://github.com/sonatype/nexus-maven-plugins/tree/main/staging/maven-plugin#plugin-flags)
-            and the related issue (https://issues.sonatype.org/browse/NEXUS-9138).
-
-            You can verify the build order by executing ./mvnw clean and looking for the "Reactor Build Order log".
