Design and manage simple to complex Java projects effectively using Apache Maven’s project object model.Getting Started with Apache Maven will introduce you to the world of synergized development in the Maven ecosystem. The course logically explains the various concepts of the tool, and shows how to proceed from simple assignments to complex ones.Maven is not simply a tool to invoke compilers and utilities, but it is also an approach to easily constructing your project by accessing its ever-expanding world of tools and libraries.You will learn how to pull in dependencies simply by specifying their coordinates, how to customize your lifecycle with plugins, and see how easy it can be to create a project website. You will see how to generate reports on your code that will enable understanding and will let you know when your developers are running into problems. You will understand how to scale up from simple projects to multi-module ones.This video course walks you through the steps by presenting examples, starting with very basic ones, and growing to more elaborate ones once you have mastered the basics.About the AuthorRussell Gold has been a Java developer since 1996 and is the author of the open-source project, HttpUnit, as well as a handful of smaller open source projects. He is also a committer on the Codehaus Mojo project, where he maintains the idlJ and RMIC plugins.He has spent the major part of his career looking for better ways to develop software, is a staunch advocate of agile development, and has embraced Maven as a major advance in build philosophy and technology. Russell is currently employed by Oracle.I would like to express gratitude to my wife Gwen, for her patience as I spent many hours working on this project, as well as to my boss and co-workers who have offered encouragement and feedback.

Dependencies 5 lectures 14:24 Introducing Maven Dependencies Add dependencies to a project by specifying their Maven coordinates. Maven will do the rest.
  • Build the sample project 2 and see it fail
  • Add the required dependency to pom.xml
  • Rebuild and verify that it builds and runs
Controlling Maven Classpaths Some dependencies should only be applied to the test classpaths. The scope element controls this.
  • Try to add a test dependency to the main class and see that it fails to build
  • Use the -X switch to understand why it doesn't work
  • Examine the build with diagnostics to see how scoping controls the classpaths
Maven and Transitive Dependencies Using a dependency often means depending on its own dependencies. Maven makes this straightforward.
  • Confirm that the user project POM makes no mention of the logging library
  • Build and test the user project showing that it uses the logging library
  • Examine the build diagnostics to see that the logging library was added to the classpath
Managing Dependencies that All Projects Need – Part 1 When many projects use the same dependency, Maven can provide a single place to define it for all of them.
  • Create a parent POM and define common dependencies in it
  • Add a parent element to the child projects to refer to the parent POM
  • Remove the definitions from the child projects that can be inherited from the parent
Managing Dependencies that All Projects Need – Part 2 When a dependency is used only by a small number of projects, Maven can define a single place to define the versions to use.
  • Add a dependencies-management section to the parent POM and define a dependency in it
  • Remove the version number from the corresponding dependency in the child POM
