POC to gather feedback about parallelizing execution of

is a singleton to make sure the plugin does not create too many thread pools. E.g. avoid creating 3 pools for each Maven modulePerhaps the logic to read-format-write can be shared between Maven and Gradle plugins. Then, both would benefit from such parallelization.
