This Cloud Native Buildpacks implementation provides:

Java-specific configurations for Spring Boot, Micronaut, Quarkus
Multi-stage builds for development vs production
Image analysis utilities
Spring Boot integration for seamless deployment
Custom buildpack creation for specialized needs
Comprehensive error handling and validation

The solution enables Java developers to build optimized container images without Dockerfiles, leveraging the power of Cloud Native Buildpacks for consistent, secure, and efficient containerization.
