Fixes multiple issues across 14 site doc files:

Grammar:

  • configurations goes -> go, artifacts matches -> match (10x)
  • Each tests is -> Each test is
  • a unclassified -> an unclassified, an library -> a library
  • avoid to generate -> avoid generating

Typos:

  • explicitely -> explicitly
  • Maven3 -> Maven 3
  • to filters -> to filter
  • as follow -> as follows
  • set to true to if -> set to true if
  • Note that that the -> Note that the
  • Here is example -> Here is an example

Awkward phrasing:

  • Rewrote confusing escaping explanation in filtering-advanced
  • Simplified customize-file-name-mapping wording
  • Fixed punctuation in version description
  • names of the projects (plural agreement)
  • fast and full control -> fine-grained control
  • as from -> since
  • J2EE -> Java EE / Jakarta EE (3 files)

- Fix subject-verb agreement: configurations goes -> go, artifacts matches -> match
- Fix articles: a unclassified -> an, an library -> a library, Each tests -> Each test
- Fix typos: explicitely -> explicitly, Maven3 -> Maven 3, to filters -> to filter
- Fix: as follow -> as follows, the the -> the, to to if -> to if
- Fix: avoid to generate -> avoid generating, Here is example -> Here is an example
- Fix: added the the -> added to, as from -> since
- Fix: J2EE -> Java EE / Jakarta EE
