Benefits of using Maven
Benefits of using Maven

<jdcasey> standardization
<jdcasey> reuse

<jdcasey> (wrt build output)
<jdcasey> let's see
<jdcasey> dependency management
<jdcasey> scalability (lower level of additional info/code to add a new step to the build process)
ashley williams
1. Dependency management
2. Build lifecycle management
3. Large existing repository
4. Eclipse aware (sort of)
5. Well documented (hopefully soon)
eric hartmann
* One directory layout,
* A single way to define dependencies,
* Setting up a project is really fast,
* 99% of my needs are available out of the box,
And my last is for maven 2.0:
* Transitive dependencies ! :-)
vincent massol
Generally speaking:
- common build structure
- build best practices enforcement (shared build meme)
- automated build of application, from source code to pre-production
platform => fast time to market with reduced risks
- works well with distributed teams ;-) Location doesn't matter.
Compared to Ant:
- Higher level of reusability between builds
- Faster turn around time to set up a powerful build (once you're used to
Maven)
- Less maintenance
- Shared build meme. I know how to build any maven project
- Greater momentum: Ant is now legacy and not moving fast ahead. Maven is
forging ahead fast and there's a potential of having lots of high-value
tools around Maven (CI, Dashboard project, IDE integration, etc).
emmanuel
<evenisse> 1- All artifacts are versionned and store in a repository
<evenisse> 2- build process is standardized for all projects
<evenisse> 3- a lot of goals are available so it isn't necessary to develop some specific build process part contrary to ANT
<evenisse> 4- we can reuse existing ANT tasks in build process with antrun plugin
<evenisse> 5- it provide quality project information with generated site
<evenisse> (6)- Easy to learn and use
david jackman
1. Dependency management
2. Makes the build process much easier at the project level (i.e. don't
have to create very much for each project for Maven to build it
correctly, and those things you do create are more declarative than
functional)
3. Automatic project web sites with consistent information about each
project
4. Recommended standards and best practices for project layout and
definition
jesse
1) Promotes modular design of code.
by making it simple to manage mulitple projects it allows the design to be laid out into muliple logical parts, weaving these parts together through the use of dependency tracking in pom files.
2) Enforces modular design of code.
it is easy to pay lipservice to modular code, but when the code is in seperate compiling projects it is impossible to cross pollinate references between modules of code unless you specifically allow for it in your dependency management...there is no 'I'll just do this now and fix it later' implementations.
3) Dependency Management is clearly declared.
with the dependency management mechanism you have to try to screw up your jar versioning...there is none of the classic problem of 'which version of this vendor jar is this?' And setting it up on an existing project rips the top off of the existing mess if it exists when you are forced to make 'unknown' versions in your repository to get things up and running...that or lie to yourself that you know the actual version of ABC.jar.
4) strong typed life cycle
there is a strong defined lifecycle that a software system goes thru from the initiation of a build to the end...and the users are allowed to mix and match their system to the lifecycle instead of cobble together their own lifecycle.. this has the additional benefit of allowing people to move from one project to another and speak using the same vocabulary in terms of software building

This guide is intended as a reference for those working with Maven for the first time, but is also intended to serve as
a cookbook with self-contained references and solutions for common usecases. It is recommended as a first time user
that you step through the material in a sequential fashion. For users more familiar with Maven the guide endeavours
to provide a quick solution for the need at hand. It is assumed at this point that you have downloaded Maven and
installed Maven on your local machine. If you have not done so please refer to the

{{{../../download.html}Download and Installation}} instructions.
Ok, so you now have Maven installed and we're ready to go. Before we jump into our examples we'll very briefly go over
what Maven is and how it can help you with your daily work and collaborative efforts with team members. Maven will, of
course, work for small projects but Maven shines in helping teams operate more effectively by allowing team members
to focus on what the stakeholders of a project require. You can leave the build infrastructure to Maven!

Now that we have covered a little bit of the history and purpose of Maven let's get into some real examples to
get you up and running with Maven!
* How do I make my first Maven project?
We are going to jump head long into creating your first Maven project, but before doing that it is recommended that you
understand what Maven's Project Object Model (POM) is all about. For this you can refer to the {{{../introduction-to-the-pom.html}}Introduction to the POM}.
You can read this later if you want to jump right into seeing a working Maven build, but the POM is the primary unit of
work in Maven and so understanding the POM can be highly useful!
We are going to jump head long into creating your first Maven project!
To create our first Maven project we are going to use Maven's archetype mechanism. An archetype is defined as
<an original pattern or model from which all other things of the same kind are made>. In Maven, an archetype is a template
of a project which is combined with some user input to produce a working Maven project that has been tailored to the
user's wishes. We are going to show you how the archetype mechanism works now, but if you would to know more about
archetypes please refer to our {{{../introduction-to-archetypes}}Introduction to Archetypes}.

archetypes please refer to our {{{introduction-to-archetypes.html}Introduction to Archetypes}}.

+-----+
What is contained in the <<<pom.xml>>> is the Project Object Model (POM) for this project. The POM is the basic unit
of work in Maven. This is important to remember because Maven is inherently project-centric in that everything revolves
around the notion of a project. In short, the POM contains every important piece of information about your project and
is essentially one-stop-shopping for finding anything related to your project. Understanding the POM is important and
new users are encouraged to refer to the {{{introduction-to-the-pom.html}Introduction to the POM}}.
This is a very simple POM but still displays the key elements every POM contains so lets walk through each of them
to familiarize you with the POM essentials:
* <<project>>
* <<modelVersion>>
* <<groupId>>
* <<artifactId>>
* <<packaging>>
* <<version>>
* <<name>>
* <<url>>

For a complete reference of what elements are available for use in the POM please refer to our {{{../../maven-model/maven.html}POM Reference}}.
Now let's get back to the project at hand.
After the archetype generation of your first project you will also notice that the following directory structure
has been created:

As you can see, the project created from the archetype has a POM, a source tree for you applications sources and
a source tree for your tests. This is the standard layout for Maven projects where the application sources
a source tree for your test sources. This is the standard layout for Maven projects where the application sources
reside in <<<${basedir}/src/main/java>>> and test sources reside in <<<${basedir}/src/test/java>>>.
If you were to create a Maven project by hand this is the directory structure that we recommend using. This is a
Maven convention and to learn more about it you can read our
{{{../introduction-to-the-standard-directory-layout}}Introduction to the Standard Directory Layout}.
So now that we have our first project let's take a look at the POM that was created for us by the archetype
mechanism:
