Looks like you're not using any error-checking in your Java build. This pull requests adds a static analysis tool, Error Prone, created by Google to find common errors in Java code. For example, running mvn compile on the following code:

public boolean validate(String s) {
	return s == this.username;
}

would identify this error:

[ERROR] src/main/java/HelloWorld.java:[17,17] error: [StringEquality] String comparison using reference equality instead of value equality
[ERROR]     (see https://errorprone.info/bugpattern/StringEquality)
