-* Add the ASF license header comment to all new `.java` files (you can copy from existing files in the project).
 * Document your changes. This includes in code documentation but also user documentation.
 * Test your changes. Use `./mvnw verify` to run all build pipeline checks.
 * It would be great to follow Chris Beam's recommendations on https://chris.beams.io/posts/git-commit/[How to Write a Git Commit Message].
