Description

Create a Maven plugin for the Checker Framework, similar to the Gradle Checker Framework Plugin.

The current Maven instructions require a great deal of cut-and-paste, which is error-prone and is offputting to newcomers.

Research direction

Read the current Maven instructions in the Checker Framework manual and compare them with the linked Gradle Checker Framework Plugin. Define the Maven plugin's scope around replacing the error-prone cut-and-paste setup, and consider the work complete when newcomers can configure Checker Framework through the plugin instead of following the current manual steps.
