-  <description>Maven is a project development management and
-    comprehension tool. Based on the concept of a project object model:
-    builds, dependency management, documentation creation, site
-    publication, and distribution publication are all controlled from
-    the declarative file. Maven can be extended by plugins to utilise a
-    number of other development tools for reporting or the build
-    process.
