This document introduces Maven 2 and its key concepts including convention over configuration, build lifecycles, dependency management using repositories, archetypes for creating project templates, generating reports to monitor code quality, mavenizing existing projects, using multi-module projects, and lists resources for additional information.

1. Introduction to Maven 2

2. Basics Convention over Configuration Declarative project management DRY

3. Build Lifecycles Default Site Clean

4. Dependency Management Declarative Transitive 3 qualifiers per dependency GroupId AritfactId Version Coping with Sun jars

5. Repositories Place where all jars are stored Local Network / proxy Central

6. Archetypes Project templates Available for various project types DEMO – create sample JSF app mvn archetype:create -DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.myfaces.maven \ -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-myfaces \ -DarchetypeVersion=1.0-SNAPSHOT \ -DgroupId=myAppId \ -DartifactId=testApp

7. Reports Monitor code health Metrics Code Coverage View codebase as a webpage Track changes

8. Mavenizing your project Modify build section: <build> <sourceDirectory>srcDir</sourceDirectory> <testSourceDirectory>testDir </testSourceDirectory> … </build>

9. Multi – module projects Use <dependencyManagement> to make your life easier mvn install needed w/ inherited test classes Let’s look at Terracotta.org’s codebase
