Introduction to
Maven
A Build and Project Management Tool
What is Maven?
 - Open-source build tool developed by Apache
 - Written in Java, supports Java, C#, Scala, Ruby
 - Used to build and manage Java-based projects
 - Automates tasks like compiling, packaging, and
deployment
Why Use Maven?
 - Handles project dependencies automatically
 - Provides a standard project structure
 - Simplifies the build process
 - Integrates with CI/CD tools like Jenkins
 - Supports version control tools like Git
Maven Build Tool Features
 - Generates source code & documentation
 - Compiles source code into JAR files
 - Manages dependencies efficiently
 - Provides project information and reports
 - Enhances software development performance
Maven Repository Types
 - Local Repository: Stored on developer’s machine
 - Central Repository: Hosted by Maven community
 - Remote Repository: Custom repository for internal use
Maven POM (Project Object
Model)
 - XML file containing project details & dependencies
 - Defines project structure, plugins, and build settings
 - Located in the project home directory
Maven Build Lifecycle
 - Clean Lifecycle: Cleans project before build
 - Default Lifecycle: Compiles, tests, packages, installs
 - Site Lifecycle: Generates documentation & reports
Managing Dependencies in
Maven
 - Automatic dependency management
 - Resolves transitive dependencies
 - Scopes: Compile, Provided, Runtime, Test, System,
Import
Maven Plugins
 - Build Plugins: Used during build (e.g., Compiler,
Install)
 - Reporting Plugins: Used for site generation
 - Examples: Clean, Compiler, Deploy, Site, Surefire
Installing & Setting Up Maven
 - Download Maven binary zip
 - Extract and set environment variables (M2_HOME,
MAVEN_HOME)
 - Update system PATH variable
 - Verify setup using 'mvn -version'
