- elements that are critical for pom dissemination
 - those that are used locally by the user like <developerConnection/>

* User configuration

 User configuration which is utilized site wide are controlled with the ${user.home}/.m2/maven.properties.

 User configuration which is utilized at the project level are controlled with the
 ${project.home}/maven.properties file.

        You can use [the template](https://github.com/gradle/gradle-issue-reproducer) with a Gradle GitHub action set up to showcase your problem.
        In the rare cases where this is infeasible, we will also accept a detailed set of instructions.
        You can also use [Gradle Project Replicator](https://github.com/android/project-replicator) to reproduce the structure of your project.

public class CollectionSerializationTester<E> extends AbstractCollectionTester<E> {
  @CollectionFeature.Require(SERIALIZABLE)
  public void testReserialize() {
    // For a bare Collection, the most we can guarantee is that the elements are preserved.
    Helpers.assertEqualIgnoringOrder(
        actualContents(), SerializableTester.reserialize(actualContents()));
  }

      throw new UnsupportedOperationException("test should not care about this");
    }

    @Override
    public long getDelay(TimeUnit unit) {
      throw new UnsupportedOperationException("test should not care about this");
    }

    @Override
    public int compareTo(Delayed other) {
      throw new UnsupportedOperationException("test should not care about this");
    }
  }

!!! tip
    All this might seem contrived. And it might not be very clear how is it useful yet.

    These examples are intentionally simple, but show how it all works.

    In the chapters about security, there are utility functions that are implemented in this same way.

But first, let's check some small concepts.

## In a hurry?

If you don't care about any of these terms and you just need to add security with authentication based on username and password *right now*, skip to the next chapters.

## OAuth2

OAuth2 is a specification that defines several ways to handle authentication and authorization.

It is quite an extensive specification and covers several complex use cases.

### Platforms

The platforms and their architecture modules are:

#### Core automation platform

This is a general-purpose automation platform which takes care of the efficient definition and execution of work, such as tasks.
This platform is agnostic to what exactly the purpose of the work is.
