For too long, developers have worked on disorganized application projects, where every part seemed to have its own build system, and no common repository existed for information about the state of the project. Now there's help. The long-awaited official documentation to Maven is here.
Written by Maven creator Jason Van Zyl and his team at Sonatype, Maven: The Definitive Guide clearly explains how this tool can bring order to your software development projects. Maven is largely replacing Ant as the build tool of choice for large open source Java projects because, unlike Ant, Maven is also a project management tool that can run reports, generate a project website, and facilitate communication among members of a working team.
To use Maven, everything you need to know is in this guide. The first part demonstrates the tool's capabilities through the development, from ideation to deployment, of several sample applications -- a simple software development project, a simple web application, a multi-module project, and a multi-module enterprise project.
The second part offers a complete reference guide that includes:
The POM and Project Relationships
The Build Lifecycle
Plugins
Project website generation
Advanced site generation
Reporting
Properties
Build Profiles
The Maven Repository
Team Collaboration
Writing Plugins
IDEs such as Eclipse, IntelliJ, ands NetBeans
Using and creating assemblies
Developing with Maven Archetypes
Several sources for Maven have appeared online for some time, but nothing served as an introduction and comprehensive reference guide to this tool -- until now. Maven: The Definitive Guide is the ideal book to help you manage development projects for software, webapplications, and enterprise applications. And it comes straight from the source.
