Maven

What is Maven?

Maven is a powerful build automation tool primarily used for Java projects. It helps manage project dependencies, builds, documentation, reporting, and more.

Installing Maven

Download Maven: Go to the Apache Maven website and download the latest version of Maven.
Install Maven: Follow the installation instructions provided on the website for your specific operating system.
Verify Installation: Open a terminal or command prompt and type mvn -version. You should see the Maven version printed, confirming that it's installed correctly.

Maven Commands

mvn clean: Cleans the project by deleting the target directory.
mvn compile: Compiles the source code of the project.
mvn package: Packages the compiled code into a distributable format, such as a JAR or WAR file.
mvn install: Installs the packaged artifact into the local repository, making it available for other projects locally.
mvn deploy: Copies the final package to the remote repository for sharing with other developers or projects.

Maven Repositories

Local Repository: Maven maintains a local repository on your system (~/.m2/repository by default) where it stores project dependencies and artifacts downloaded from remote repositories.
Remote Repositories: These are external repositories where Maven fetches dependencies from. The most commonly used remote repository is Maven Central, but you can also configure custom repositories.

pom.xml Explanation

The pom.xml file is the core of Maven projects. It stands for "Project Object Model" and contains configuration information for the project.

Here's a basic pom.xml file structure:

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd"> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <groupId>com.example</groupId> <artifactId>my-project</artifactId> <version>1.0.0</version> <dependencies> <!-- Define project dependencies here --> <dependency> <groupId>junit</groupId> <artifactId>junit</artifactId> <version>4.12</version> <scope>test</scope> </dependency> </dependencies> <!-- Other configuration elements like build, plugins, etc. --> </project>

<modelVersion>: Specifies the POM model version.
<groupId>: A unique identifier for the project's group.
<artifactId>: A unique identifier for the project's artifact (usually the name of the JAR without version).
<version>: The version of the project.
<dependencies>: Contains project dependencies.
<dependency>: Defines a single dependency.
<scope>: Specifies the scope of the dependency (e.g., compile, test).
