Description

Within Maven it's possible to pull down client side libraries which are packaged into JAR archive files called Webjars https://www.webjars.org/

Instead of having local 3rd party dependencies locally such as jQuery it would be easier to manage within the pom.xml

Research direction

Start with pom.xml and the local third-party libraries under src/main/webapp/js, especially jQuery, then compare those dependencies with the Webjars options described at webjars.org. Done means the relevant client-side libraries are managed through Maven Webjars rather than local copies, with the application still loading them correctly.
