Maven 2 - build and project collaboration tool

"Spring in Action" - Author mentioned in book ( using it )

Introduction to Apache Maven 2 - Tutorial

Modern software projects are no longer solely monolithic creations of single local project teams. With the increased availability of robust, enterprise-grade open source components, today's software projects require dynamic collaboration among project teams and often depend on a mix of globally created and maintained components. Now in its second generation, the Apache Maven build system -- unlike legacy build tools created before the Internet-enabled era of global software development -- was designed from the ground up to take on these modern challenges. This tutorial gets you started with Maven 2.


Learning Maven 2 need not be difficult, once you understand its motivation and the challenges that it aims to overcome. As a build tool, Maven 2 is usable productively even by rank beginners developing projects in an isolated silo. Start using Maven 2 in your own development project or join one of the many open source development communities, and soon you too will be influencing the course toward which Maven 2 will evolve.
