Then, we declare a repository -- `mavenCentral()` -- as source for external dependencies *(2)*, define dependency constraints *(3)* as well as standard dependencies that are shared by all subprojects and set JUnit 5 as testing framework *(4...)*.
Other shared settings, like compiler flags or JVM version compatibilities, could also be set here.
