Maven for Dummies
- 1. A JJTV tool night presentation Tomer Gabel, November 2012
- 2. Maven is not news… … but it’s not well-understood either Let’s go back to basics
- 3. A lifecycle management tool Not just a build system Declarative Not a script! Modular Everything is a plugin
- 4. Phases Goals • process-resources compile • compile resources:resources compiler:compile • process-test-resources test • test-compile • test package • prepare-package resources:test- compiler:test- • package resources compile • verify deploy • install • deploy surefire:test war:war
- 5. Hierarchy POM Dependencies Configuration
- 6. XML *sigh* … yeah Artifact descriptor Hierarchy Dependencies
- 7. POMs reference POMs Group, artifact, version Repository lookup Local repository (“cache”) Remote repositories
- 8. Convention over configuration Stick to the conventions if possible Keep it simple Avoid complex setups (e.g. multiple repositories) Avoid feature creep (stick to common plugins)
