Maven is a new project management and comprehension tool which provides an elegant
way to share build logic across projects. In terms of capabilities, Maven is an
improvement to Apache Ant-thanks to numerous plug-ins and built-in integration
with unit testing frameworks such as JUnit. Tired of writing the same build logic
for every project? Using Maven, you can leverage the experience of the community
to avoid the tedious process of creating yet another build script for each new
project.
Maven: A Developer's Notebook begins by introducing you to the concept of project
object model (POM), and then offers further details on the essential features
of Maven. Like all titles in O'Reilly's Developer's Notebook series, this no-nonsense
book skips the boring prose and cuts right to the chase. It's an approach that
forces you to get your hands dirty by working through a series of poignant labs-exercises
that speak to you instead of at you.
Plus, Maven: A Developer's Notebook is the first book on the subject to hit
the market, so you know the information is fresh and timely. If you're a Java
programmer, you'll be armed with all the critical information you need to get
up to speed on this powerful new build tool. You'll discover how Maven can help
you:
- manage a project's build, reporting, and documentation, all from a central
piece of information
- break a complex project into a series of smaller subprojects
- report on code quality, unit tests, code duplication, and project activity
- create a custom remote repository
- build simple and complex plug-ins
In the end, you'll find yourself spending less time working on your project's
build system and more time working on your project's code.
