Apache Maven OVERVIEW Licensed under a Creative Commons license
Definition ●  Apache Maven is a software project management and comprehension tool. ●  Based on the concept of a project object model (POM) -  Maven can manage a project's build, binaries, reporting and documentation from a central piece of information. Licensed under a Creative Commons license
History ●  Initiated in 2001 by Jason Van Zyl in Alexandria, an Apache Jakarta project, ●  Moved to Turbine few months after, ●  Became a Top Level Project in 2003. ●  Maven 2.0 released in September 2005 ●  Maven 3.0 … coming soon !!! Licensed under a Creative Commons license
Apache Maven CONCEPTS Licensed under a Creative Commons license 12
Conventions ●  1 project = 1 artifact (pom, jar, war, ear, …) ●  Standardized -  project descriptor (POM) -  build lifecycle -  directories layout ●  *.java to compile in src/[main|test]/java ●  *.xml, *.properties needed in classpath and to bundle in archive in src/[main|test]/resources ●  target directory for generated stuffs (sources, classes, …) ●  … Licensed under a Creative Commons license 13
POM ●  An XML file (pom.xml) <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>! <project>! <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>! ●  Describing <groupId>net.aheritier.samples</groupId>! <artifactId>simple-webapp</artifactId>! -  Project identification <version>1.1-SNAPSHOT</version>! <packaging>war</packaging>! -  Project version <name>Simple webapp</name>! -  Project description <inceptionYear>2007</inceptionYear>! <dependencies>! -  Build settings <dependency>! <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>! -  Dependencies <artifactId>spring-struts</artifactId>! -  … <version>2.0.2</version>! </dependency>! ...! </dependencies>! </project>! Licensed under a Creative Commons license
Reactor ●  Split your project in <project>! sub-modules ...! <modules>! ●  Maven computes the <module>moduleA</module>! build order from <module>moduleB</module>! dependencies <module>moduleC</module>! between sub- <module>moduleD</module>! modules. <module>moduleE</module> ! ●  Modules have to be <module>moduleF</module>! defined in the POM </modules>! ...! -  No auto-discovery for </project>! performance reasons Licensed under a Creative Commons license
Inheritance ●  Share settings between projects/modules ●  By default the parent project is supposed to be in the parent directory (../) <parent>! <groupId>net.aheritier.sample</groupId>! <artifactId>my-parent</artifactId>! <version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT<version>! </parent>! Licensed under a Creative Commons license
Inheritance Use a technical inheritance to organize sub-modules Use assembly to package batchs Insert README in all artifacts Use clirr to validate backward compatibility Licensed under a Creative Commons license
Artifact Repository ●  By default : -  A central repository ●  http://repo1.maven.org/ maven2 ●  Several dozen of Gb of OSS libraries -  A local repository ●  ${user.home}/.m2/repository ●  All artifacts -  Used by maven and its plugins -  Used by your projects (dependencies) -  Produced by your projects Licensed under a Creative Commons license
Artifact Repository ●  By default Maven downloads artifacts required by the project or itself from central ●  Downloaded artifacts are stored in the local repository ●  Used to store : -  Project’s binaries -  Project’s dependencies -  Maven and plug-ins binaries Licensed under a Creative Commons license
Dependencies Without Maven With Maven Licensed under a Creative Commons license
Dependencies ●  Declaratives -  groupId + artifactId + version (+ classifier) -  Type (packaging) : jar, war, pom, ear, … ●  Transitives -  Lib A needs Lib B -  Lib B needs Lib C -  Thus Lib A needs Lib C Licensed under a Creative Commons license
Dependencies ●  Scope -  Compile (by default) : Required to build and run the application -  Runtime : not required to build the application but needed at runtime ●  Ex : taglibs -  Provided : required to build the application but not needed at runtime (provided by the container) ●  Ex : Servlet API, Driver SGBD, … -  Test : required to build and launch tests but not needed by the application itself to build and run ●  Ex : Junit, TestNG, DbUnit, … -  System : local library with absolute path ●  Ex : software products Licensed under a Creative Commons license
Dependencies ●  Define all dependencies you are using -  and no more ! ●  If you have optional dependencies -  Perhaps you should have optional modules instead ●  Cleanup your dependencies with -  mvn dependency:analyze! ●  Study your dependencies with -  mvn dependency:tree! -  mvn dependency:list! Licensed under a Creative Commons license
Versions ●  Project and dependency versions ●  Two different version variants   SNAPSHOT version ●  The version number ends with –SNAPSHOT ●  The project is in development ●  Deliveries are changing over the time and are overridden after each build ●  Artifacts are deployed with a timestamp on remote repositories   RELEASE version ●  The version number doesn’t end with –SNAPSHOT ●  Binaries won’t change Licensed under a Creative Commons license
Versions Licensed under a Creative Commons license
Versions ●  About SNAPSHOT dependencies -  Maven allows the configuration of an update policy. The update policy defines the recurrence of checks if there is a new SNAPSHOT version available on the remote repository : ●  always ●  daily (by default) ●  interval:X (a given period in minutes) ●  never -  Must not be used in a released project ●  They can change thus the release also  ●  The release plugin will enforce it  Licensed under a Creative Commons license
Versions ●  Range -  From … to … -  Maven automatically searches for the corresponding version (using the update policy for released artifacts) -  To use with caution ●  Risk of non reproducibility of the build ●  Risk of side effects on projects depending on yours. Licensed under a Creative Commons license
Versions ●  Use the versions plugin to update all versions of your project and its modules mvn versions:set –DnewVersion=A.B.C-SNAPSHOT! Licensed under a Creative Commons license
Profiles ●  Allow to modify the default behavior of Maven by overriding/adding some settings ●  Use mvn help:active-profiles to debug ●  Explicit activation or deactivation mvn <phases or goals> ! -PprofileId1,-profileId2 ! -P!profileId3! Licensed under a Creative Commons license
Profiles ●  activeByDefault = If no other profile is activated ●  Activation through Maven settings <settings>! ...! <activeProfiles>! <activeProfile>profile-1</activeProfile>! </activeProfiles>! ...! </settings>! Licensed under a Creative Commons license
Profiles ●  Activation based on environment variables <profiles>! <profiles>! <profile>! <profile>! <activation>! <activation>! <property>! <property>! <name>run-its</name>! <name>!skip-enforce</name>! <value>true</value>! </property>! </property>! </activation>! </activation>! ...! ...! </profile>! </profile>! </profiles>! </profiles>!

Build Lifecycle And Plugins ●  Plugin based architecture for a great extensibility ●  Standardized lifecycle to build all types of archetypes Licensed under a Creative Commons license
Build Lifecycle And Plugins Default Lifecycle Clean Lifecycle Site Lifecycle validate pre-clean pre-site initialize clean site generate-sources post-clean post-site process-sources site-deploy generate-resources process-resources compile process-classes generate-test-sources process-test-sources generate-test-resources process-test-resources test-compile process-test-classes test prepare-package package pre-integration-test integration-test post-integration-test verify install deploy Licensed under a Creative Commons license
Build Lifecycle And Plugins ●  Many plugins -  Packaging -  Reporting -  IDE integration -  Miscellaneous tools integration ●  Many locations -  maven.apache.org -  mojo.codehaus.org -  code.google.com -  … Licensed under a Creative Commons license
Apache Maven MAVEN OR NOT MAVEN, THAT IS THE QUESTION ! Licensed under a Creative Commons license
Maven, the project’s choice ●  Application’s architecture -  The project has the freedom to divide the application in modules -  Maven doesn’t limit the evolution of the application architecture ●  Dependencies management -  Declarative : Maven automatically downloads them and builds the classpath -  Transitive : We define only what the module needs itself Licensed under a Creative Commons license
Maven, the project’s choice ●  Centralizes and automates -  Builds all development facets -  Tests (build, tests, releases) -  Packages ●  One thing it cannot do for -  Deploys you : to develop  -  Documents -  Checks and reports about the quality of developments Licensed under a Creative Commons license
Maven, the corporate’s choice ●  Widely adopted and known -  Many developers ●  Developments are standardized ●  Decrease of costs -  Reuse of knowledge -  Reuse of configuration fragments -  Reuse of process and code fragments ●  Product quality improvement -  Reports and monitoring Licensed under a Creative Commons license
Competitors ●  Ant + Ivy, Easy Ant, Gant, Gradle, Buildr… ●  Script oriented -  You can do what you want ! ●  Reuse many of Maven conventions (directories layout, …) and services (repositories) but without enforcing them ●  The risk for them : Not being able to evolve due to the too high level of customization proposed to the user. -  We tried on Maven 1 and it died because of that. It was impossible to create a set of tests to cover all usages. -  It’s like providing a framework without public API  Licensed under a Creative Commons license
With scripts oriented builds You can have But often you have (if you have good skills) (moreover after years …) Licensed under a Creative Commons license
With Maven We dream to deliver But today we have too often (Maven 3.x) (Maven 2.x) Licensed under a Creative Commons license

Quality Metrics ●  Extract quality metrics from your project and monitor them : -  Code style (CheckStyle) -  Bad practices or potential bugs (PMD, FindBugs, Clirr) -  Tests coverage (Cobertura, Emma, Clover) -  … ●  You can use blocking rules -  For example, I break the build if the upward compatibility of public APIs is broken ●  You can use reports -  Reports are available in a web site generated by Maven -  Or in a quality dashboard like Sonar Licensed under a Creative Commons license
Dependency Report Licensed under a Creative Commons license
Sonar, a quality dashboard Licensed under a Creative Commons license
Sonar, analyze your project Licensed under a Creative Commons license
Sonar, Continuous Improvement ? Licensed under a Creative Commons license

Continuous Integration ●  Setup a continuous integration server to : -  Have a neutral and unmodified environment to run your tests -  Quickly react when ●  The build fails (compilation failure for example) ●  A test fails ●  A quality metric is bad -  Continuously improve the quality of your project and your productivity ●  Many products -  Hudson, Bamboo, TeamCity, Continuum, Cruisecontrol, … Licensed under a Creative Commons license
Hudson, how the weather is ? Licensed under a Creative Commons license
Hudson : build, test, check Licensed under a Creative Commons license
Apache Maven IDE Licensed under a Creative Commons license
Eclipse ●  Integration from maven (eclipse:eclipse) -  Allow many customizations -  Support many versions/variants of eclipse -  Support many usages (ear …) -  Doesn’t support projects with “pom” packaging -  Few support from dev team -  Many bugs in classpath management -  Asynchronous ●  You have to regenerate and reload project each time you change a POM) Licensed under a Creative Commons license
Eclipse ●  Integration from eclipse (m2eclipse) -  Synchronous -  Nice UI and services to edit POMs -  Support projects with “pom” packaging -  Doesn’t support all usages like EAR with WTP -  Doesn’t support very well a large number of modules -  Slow down eclipse on large projects because of a lack of support of incremental build in Maven 2.x and its plugins Licensed under a Creative Commons license

Apache Maven GOOD & BAD PRACTICES Licensed under a Creative Commons license
Apache Maven KISS Licensed under a Creative Commons license
K.I.S.S. ●  Keep It Simple, Stupid ●  Start from scratch -  Do not copy/paste what you find without understanding ●  Use only what you need -  It’s not because maven offers many features that you need to use them ●  Filtering ●  Modules ●  Profiles ●  … Licensed under a Creative Commons license
Apache Maven PROJECT ORGANIZATION GOOD & BAD PRACTICES Licensed under a Creative Commons license
Project bad practices ●  Ignore Maven conventions -  Except if your are migrating from something else and the target has to be to follow them. -  Except if they are not compatible with your IDE ●  Different versions in sub-modules -  In that case they are standalone projects. ●  Too many inheritance levels -  It makes the POMs maintenance more complex -  Where should I set this plugin parameter ? In which parent ? Licensed under a Creative Commons license
Project bad practices ●  Have too many modules -  Is there a good reason ? ●  Technical constraint ? ●  Team organization ? -  It increases the build time ●  Many more artifacts to generate ●  Dependencies resolution more complex -  It involves more complex developments ●  More modules to import in your IDE ●  More modules to update … Licensed under a Creative Commons license
Project good practices ●  Use the default inheritance : -  The reactor project is also the parent of its modules. -  Configuration is easier : ●  No need to redefine SCM settings, site distribution settings … Licensed under a Creative Commons license
Apache Maven POM GOOD & BAD PRACTICES Licensed under a Creative Commons license
POM bad practices ●  Dependencies : -  DON’T confuse dependencies and dependencyManagement ●  Plugins : -  DON’T confuse plugins and pluginManagement -  DON’T use AntRun plugin everywhere -  DON’T let Maven choose plugins versions for you Licensed under a Creative Commons license
POM bad practices ●  Profiles : -  DON’T create environment dependant builds -  DON’T rely on dependencies coming from profiles (there is no transitive activation of profiles) ●  Reporting and quality -  DON’T activate on an existing project all reports with default configuration -  DON’T control formatting rules without giving settings for IDEs. ●  DON’T put everything you find in your POM. Licensed under a Creative Commons license
POM good practices ●  Set versions of dependencies in project parent’s dependencyManagement ●  Set dependencies (groupId, artifactId, scope) in each module they are used ●  Use the dependency plugin (from apache) and versions plugin (from mojo) to analyze, cleanup and update your dependencies. Licensed under a Creative Commons license
Apache Maven DEVELOPMENT GOOD & BAD PRACTICES Licensed under a Creative Commons license
Development bad practices ●  DON’T spend your time in the terminal, ●  DON’T exchange libraries through emails, ●  DON’T always use "-Dmaven.test.skip=true” ●  DON’T manually do releases Licensed under a Creative Commons license
Development good practices ●  Keep up-to-date your version of Maven -  For example in 2.1 the time of dependencies/modules resolution decreased a lot (Initialization of a project of 150 modules passed from 8 minutes to less than 1) ●  Use the reactor plugin (Maven < 2.1) or native reactor command line options (Maven >= 2.1) to rebuild only a subpart of your project : -  All modules depending on module XXX -  All modules used to build XXX ●  Try to not use Maven features not supported by your IDE (resources filtering with the plugin eclipse:eclipse) Licensed under a Creative Commons license
Apache Maven USECASES Licensed under a Creative Commons license
Apache Maven SECURE YOUR CREDENTIALS Licensed under a Creative Commons license
Secure your credentials ●  Generate a private key -    arnaud@leopard:~$ mvn --encrypt-master-password toto  {dZPuZ74YTJ0HnWHGm4zgfDlruYQNda1xib9vAVf2vvY=}  ●  We save the private key in ~/.m2/settings-security.xml <settingssecurity>! <master>{dZPuZ74YTJ0HnWHGm4zgfDlruYQNda1xib9vAVf2vvY=}</master>! </settingssecurity>! Licensed under a Creative Commons license
Secure your credentials ●  You can move this key to another drive ~/.m2/settings.xml -  <settingsSecurity>  <relocation>/Volumes/ArnaudUsbKey/secure/settings-security.xml</relocation>  </settingsSecurity>! ●  You create an encrypted version of your server password -  arnaud@mbp-arnaud:~$ mvn --encrypt-password titi {SbC9Fl2jA4oHZtz5Fcefp2q1tMXEtBkz9QiKljPiHss=}! ●  You register it in your settings -  <settings>  ...  <servers>  ...  <server>  <id>mon.server</id>  <username>arnaud</username>  <password>{SbC9Fl2jA4oHZtz5Fcefp2q1tMXEtBkz9QiKljPiHss=}</password>  </server>  ...  </servers>  ...  </settings>!

Apache Maven RELEASE YOUR PROJECT Licensed under a Creative Commons license
Release of a webapp in 2002 ●  Limited usage of eclipse -  No WTP (Only some features in WSAD), -  No ability to produce WARs Licensed under a Creative Commons license
Release of a webapp in 2002 ●  Many manual tasks -  Modify settings files -  Package JARs -  Copy libraries (external and internal) in a « lib » directory -  Package WAR (often with a zip command) -  Tag the code (CVS) -  Send the package on the integration server using FTP -  Deploy the package with AS console Licensed under a Creative Commons license
Release of a webapp in 2002 ●  One problem : The are ●  How long did it take ? always problems -  When everything is ok : 15 -  Error in config files minutes -  Missing dependencies -  When there’s a problem : ½ -  Missing file day or more -  Last minute fix which created a bug -  And many other possibilies .. Licensed under a Creative Commons license
Maven Release Plugin ●  Automates the release process from tagging sources to binaries delivery ●  Release plugin main goals: -  Prepare : To update maven versions and information in POMs and tag the code -  Perform : To deploy binaries in a maven repository ●  After that you can just automate the deployment on the AS using cargo for example. Licensed under a Creative Commons license
Maven Release Plugin Licensed under a Creative Commons license
Configuration and Prerequisites ●  Project version (must be a SNAPSHOT version) ●  Dependencies and plugins versions mustn’t be SNAPSHOTs Licensed under a Creative Commons license
Troubleshooting Releases ●  Common errors during release: -  Build with release profile was tested before and fails -  Local modifications -  Current version is not a SNAPSHOT -  SNAPSHOTs in dependencies and/or plugins -  Missing some configuration (scm, distribMgt, …) -  Tag already exists -  Unable to deploy project to the Repository -  Connection problems Licensed under a Creative Commons license
SCM configuration ●  SCM binaries have to be in the PATH ●  SCM credentials have to already be stored or you have to pass them in command line with : –Dusername=XXX –Dpassword=XXX <scm>! <connection>scm:svn:http://svn.acme.com/myproject/trunk</connection>! <developerConnection>scm:svn:https://svn.acme.com/myproject/trunk</developerConnection>! <url>http://fisheye.acme.com/browse/myproject/trunk</url>! </scm>! Licensed under a Creative Commons license
Distribution Management ●  Where you want to upload released binaries ●  The url of a repository dedicated for your project/ corporate maven deliveries in your repository manager <project>! <distributionManagement>! <repository>! <id>repository.acme.com</id>! <url>${acme.releases.repo.url}</url>! This id will be used in user’s </repository>! maven settings . . .! (~/.m2/settings.xml) </distributionManagement>! . . . ! <properties>! <acme.releases.repo.url>http://repo.acme.com/acme-releases</acme.releases.repo.url>! . . .! </properties>! Often useful to have a property </project>! to test the release process on a fake repository, to validate a repo manager ... Licensed under a Creative Commons license
Repository credentials ●  One server entry is required per different repository id in distribution management of projects ●  In a corporate environment, use a unique id for all repositories hosted on repository managers using same credentials (corporate LDAP …) <settings>! ...! <servers>! <server>! <id>repository.acme.com</id>! <username>aheritier</username>! This id is the one defined in <password>{ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWYZ}</password>! distributionManagement entry of </server>! the project to release ...! </servers>! ...! </settings>! Licensed under a Creative Commons license
Default Release Profile in Super POM ●  This profile is used when you generate binaries of the release with “mvn release:perform” ●  By default, generates sources and javadocs jars for each module. <profile>! <id>release-profile</id>! <activation>! <property>! <name>performRelease</name>! <value>true</value>! This activation could be used in </property>! profiles you want to activate in </activation>! the release process <build>! <plugins>! ...! </plugins>!

Apache Maven SETUP A GLOBAL MIRROR Licensed under a Creative Commons license
Why should we setup a global mirror ? ●  To simplify users and projects settings ●  To control where binaries are coming from -  To not rely on project’s repositories -  To use only the corporate repository manager ●  To improve build performances -  By reducing the number of requests to find a missing artefact Licensed under a Creative Commons license
