<!-- Purpose: The pom.xml file configures the Quiz Game project for Maven. It manages dependencies, compilers, plugins, and metadata.
Key Features:
Metadata: Defines project details (group ID, artifact ID, version, name).
Dependencies: Includes JavaFX for the GUI and JUnit for testing.
Compiler Configuration: Ensures compatibility with Java version 21.
JavaFX Plugin: Enables running the JavaFX application with Maven.
Custom Repository: Specifies OpenJFX for accessing JavaFX libraries.
In short, the pom.xml file automates the setup and management of the Quiz Game project, streamlining the build and run process. -->
