You need to recommend an integration strategy for the build process of a Java application. The solution must meet the following requirements:
-> The builds must access an on-premises dependency management system.
-> The build outputs must be stored as Server artifacts in Azure DevOps.
-> The source code must be stored in a Git repository in Azure DevOps.
Solution: Configure the build pipeline to use a Hosted VS 2019 agent pool. Include the Java Tool Installer task in the build pipeline.
Does this meet the goal?

Here's a detailed explanation of why this solution might not meet the stated requirements:
The recommended solution only specifies the use of a Hosted VS 2019 agent pool, but it does not provide any details on how to access the on-premises dependency management system. Since the builds need to access an on-premises dependency management system, this missing information is crucial for the solution to be complete.
Additionally, the recommended solution does not mention how to configure the build pipeline to store the build outputs as server artifacts in Azure DevOps. This is another missing piece of information.
Finally, the recommended solution mentions using the Java Tool Installer task, but it does not provide any details on how to configure this task to use the on-premises dependency management system.
Therefore, to meet the stated requirements, the recommended solution needs to be modified to include the following steps:
Configure the build pipeline to use a Hosted VS 2019 agent pool.
Configure the build pipeline to access the on-premises dependency management system. This can be done by adding the appropriate settings to the build pipeline, such as the location of the dependency management system, the credentials required to access it, and any other relevant details.
Configure the build pipeline to store the build outputs as server artifacts in Azure DevOps. This can be done by adding a Publish Build Artifacts task to the pipeline and configuring it to publish the artifacts to the appropriate location in Azure DevOps.
Configure the Java Tool Installer task to use the on-premises dependency management system. This can be done by adding the appropriate settings to the task, such as the location of the dependency management system, the credentials required to access it, and any other relevant details.
By following these steps, the recommended solution can be modified to meet the stated requirements.
