Which packaging type indicates a MuleSoft policy Maven project?

• A. jar
• B. war
• C. mule-policy
• D. pom

Answer: (C)

The packaging type that marks a policy artifact in MuleSoft Maven projects is mule-policy. This special packaging signals to the build tooling and the Anypoint Platform that the artifact being produced is a policy definition, not a runtime application. In practice, a policy project uses <packaging>mule-policy</packaging> in its POM, and the policy Maven plugin generates the policy artifact (with the policy and its metadata) for deployment to Anypoint Platform. Other common packaging types like jar, war, or pom correspond to standard Java libraries, web applications, or aggregator projects, which are not used to publish policies.
