Maven can be used to develop and manage Mule projects. Mule provides built-in Maven functionality in Anypoint Studio and for Mule ESB. In Studio, new projects can be built with Maven or existing projects can have Maven support enabled. Maven plugins for Mule ESB allow controlling Mule instances from Maven and provide archetypes for regular Mule applications. Projects developed outside Studio using Maven can also be imported.

1. Using Maven with Mule
Presented By

2.  Maven is a project management utility
that you can use to develop projects in
Mule. Mule provides built-in Maven
functionality, including the features listed
below.
In Anypoint Studio:
 Building a Mule application with Maven
in Studio
 Enabling Maven support for an existing
Studio project
 Importing a Maven project into Studio

3.  In Mule ESB:
 Maven-Mule ESB functionality is
provided by two Mule plugins for Maven.
 Maven tools for Mule ESB is a plugin
that provides archetypes for building
regular Mule applications, allowing you
to develop Mule applications from within
Maven
 The muleesb-maven-plugin allows you to
control Mule ESB instances from within a
Maven environment

4. Building a Mule Application with
Maven in Studio :
 Build a Simple Project
1. Drag an HTTP Connector and a Set Payload
Component into your flow as shown in the
figure in next slide.
2. Open the connector’s properties editor and
Create a new Conector
Configuration element by clicking the green
plus sign.
3. Fill in the two required fields: Host and Port.
Set the host to localhost and leave the port
as the default value 8081 as shown in the
figure in next slide.

6.  Back in the connecotr’s properties
editor, leave the path as the default "/"
 Configure the Set Payload component
to set the value to "Hello World!", as
shown below:

7.  Now try it out by running your project
on the embedded server within
Anypoint Studio. Click the project
name, then Run As > Mule
Application.
 Open a browser window and go
to http://localhost:8081.
 You should see a "Hello World!"
message in your browser.

8. Enabling Maven Support for a
Studio Project :
 Get existing Mule project that was
already created in Anypoint Studio and
add Maven functionality to it.
 Maven can make your project more
easily shareable with other developers
as it takes care of its dependencies
and helps automate your project’s
build process.

9. Mavenizing an Existing Mule
Project :

10. Studio presents a confirmation dialog,
warning that although Maven support can
later be disabled, this will not reset your
project’s classpath. Click Yes to confirm.

11. Importing a Maven Project into
Studio :
 If you have a Mule project that was built
using http://maven.apache.org/[Maven]
outside Anypoint Studio, you can still
import it into Studio and continue to work
on it with the benefits of the Studio IDE.
 Studio has a built-in functionality to
import a Maven project.
 In Studio, go to File > Import…​
 Select Mule > Maven-based Mule
Project from pom.xml, then click Next.
