15.4What gets built?
Your Mule source:
XML flows
DataWeave
configuration/resources
dependencies
gets packaged into a deployable Mule application artifact.
Conceptually:
source repository
↓
mvn package
↓
customer-salesforce-api-1.2.3.jar
Don't think:
“It's just XML uploaded to Salesforce.”
The Mule runtime executes the packaged application.
