    Maven Intro

    The course starts with an overview of the problems in project and dependency management, how Maven works and the role of Maven repositories. Explained is how Maven compares to the automatic build tool Ant.

    Maven Projects

    Next the directory structure of Maven projects and the standard life cycle are discussed. Maven projects can be created using predefined archetypes that have a certain project structure built in from the start. The role of Maven goals and plugins is also covered.

    Project Object Model

    Then the Project Object Model (POM) with pom.xml is treated. The meaning of the main entries therein such as Group, Artifact and Version are discussed and also a more complex structure with multiple pom files and pom inheritance.

    Archetypes

    The Maven Archetypes are also part of the program of the course Maven Development. Attention is paid to a number of commonly used archetypes. Also discussed is how you can create archetypes yourself with the Maven Archetype plugin and which are provided with a prototype POM and prototype files.

    Repositories

    Furthermore Maven Repositories such as the Maven Central repository, Enterprise Repositories, the Local Developer Repository and Remote Repositories are treated. The order in which Maven searches the repositories is discussed and Plugin Repositories are covered as well.

    Build Automation

    Finally attention is paid to the role of Maven in performing tests, to continuous integration and to release management with Bamboo, Team City or Jenkins.
