Maven by Example

This book is an introduction to Apache Maven which uses a set of examples to demonstrate core concepts. Starting with a simple Maven project which contains a single class and a single unit test, this book slowly develops an enterprise multi-module project which interacts with a database, interacts with a remote API, and presents a simple web application

Better Builds with Maven. The How-to Guide for Maven 2.0

Welcome to Better Builds with Maven, an indispensable guide to understand and use Maven 2.0.

Maven 2 is a product that offers immediate value to many users and organizations. As you will soon find, it does not take long to realize those benefits. Perhaps, reading this book will take you longer. Maven works equally well for small and large projects, but Maven shines in helping teams operate more effectively by allowing team members to focus on what the stakeholders of a project require -- leaving the build infrastructure to Maven!

This guide is not meant to be an in-depth and comprehensive resource but rather an introduction, which provides a wide range of topics from understanding Maven's build platform to programming nuances.

This guide is intended for Java developers who wish to implement the project management and comprehension capabilities of Maven 2 and use it to make their day-to-day work easier and generally help with the comprehension of any Java-based project. We hope that this book will be useful for Java project managers as well.

For first time users, it is recommended that you step through the material in a sequential fashion. For users more familiar with Maven (including Maven 1.x), this guide endeavors to provide a quick solution for the need at hand.

Maven: The Definitive Guide

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.
