Apache Maven is a software project management and comprehension tool. Based on
the concept of a project object model (POM), Maven can manage a project's
build, reporting and documentation from a central piece of information.

# istio-iptables

This is an `iptables` wrapper library for Istio. It is similar in basic concept to [](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/iptables-wrappers) but Istio needs to invoke `iptables` from a more varied set of contexts than K8s, and so cannot simply rely on "default" binary aliases to `iptables`/`iptables-save`/`iptables-restore`

[[sub:producers-vs-consumers]]
== Producers vs consumers

A key concept in dependency management with Gradle is the difference between consumers and producers.

Lines annotated with a lock (🔒) indicate that leveraging <<dependency_locking.adoc#dependency-locking,dependency locking>> makes sense in this context.
Another concept that relates with rich version declaration is the ability to publish <<publishing_maven.adoc#publishing_maven:resolved_dependencies,resolved versions>> instead of declared ones.

= Modeling library features

Gradle supports the concept of _features_: it's often the case that a single library can be split up into multiple related yet distinct libraries, where each _feature_ can be used alongside the _main_ library.
