What is Maven?
Mostly used as a build tool for Java
projects
It is more than a build tool
 Project Object Model (POM)
 Project lifecycles
 Dependency management
 Plugin framework
It is a project management tool
A Simple Maven Example
pom.xml
<project>
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<groupId>edu.calstatela.cs520</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-exmaple</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
</project>

Run:
mvn compile
mvn package
pom.xml and modelVersion
pom.xml is a description of the project
modelVersion is the version of the
“grammar” of the description
Maven Coordinates
groupId
 Name of the company, organization, team etc.,
usually using the reverse URL naming convention
artifactId
 A unique name for the project under groupId
version
packaging, default: jar
classifier

Maven coordinates uniquely identifies a project.


Convention Over
Configuration
Systems, libraries, and frameworks
should assume reasonable defaults.
Default Directory Structure
src/main/java
src/main/resources for files that
should be placed under classpath
src/main/webapp for web
applications
src/test/java
target
Build Lifecycle
The process for building and
distributing a project
A build lifecycle consists of a number of
steps called phases.
Some Default Lifecycle Phases
validate
compile
test
package
deploy
http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-the-lifecycle.html#Lifecycle_Reference
Goals and Plugins
Goals, a.k.a. Mojos, are operations
provided by Maven plugins
Some Maven Plugins
resources
compiler
surefire
jar, war

http://maven.apache.org/plugins/index.html
Example of Using a Plugin
<build><plugins><plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.3.2</version>
<executions><execution>
<id>default-compile</id>
<phase>compile</phase>
<goals>
<goal>compile</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<target>1.6</target>
</configuration>
</execution></executions>
</plugin></plugins></build>
About The Plugin Example
A plugin is uniquely identified by its
coordinates just like any other project
Goals are usually associated (i.e.
bound) to a build lifecycle phase
The behavior of a goal can be
customized with additional parameters
in the <configuration> section
Run a Maven Build
mvn <phase>

Maven will go through each build


lifecycle phase up to the specified
phase
In each phase, execute the goals bound
to that phase
Run a Maven Build in Eclipse
Need the m2e Eclipse plugin
Right click on the project then select
Run As  Maven Build …
Give the build a name
Enter the phase name for Goals
Click Run
Why Not Just Use an IDE
Can your IDE do everything you want?
 Deploy a web application to a remote
server
 Generate source code from some metadata
files
 Create a zip package of selected files for
homework submission
 …
Why Use Maven
Everybody uses it!
Common framework for project build and
management
 Project Object Model
 Build lifecycles
Archetype
Dependency management
Resource filtering
Archetype
An archetype is a template for a Maven project which
can be used to create new projects quickly
Example: creating a project from archetype
 maven-archetype-quickstart
 maven-archetype-webapp
Users can create new archetypes and publish them
through catalogs
 Main Maven archetype catalog:
http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/archetype-catalog.xml
Dependency Management
A dependency of a project is a library
that the project depends on
Adding a dependency to a project is as
simple as adding the coordinates of the
library to pom.xml
Maven automatically downloads the
library from an online repository and
store it locally for future use
Dependency Example
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
<artifactId>javax.servlet-api</artifactId>
<version>3.0.1</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>

Add a dependency to pom.xml


Add a dependency in Eclipse
Dependencies and
Repositories
Search for dependency coordinates at
http://mvnrepository.com/
Maven Central Repository -

Additional libraries and repositories -

More About Dependency
Management
Dependencies of a dependency are
automatically included
Dependency conflicts are automatically
resolved
See CSNS2 for example
Resource Filtering
Use placeholders in resource files and
replace them with actual value during
the build process

<param name="File" value="${app.dir.log}/csns2.log" />

<param name="File" value="F:/TEMP/csns2/csns2.log" />


Resource Filtering Example
<build>
<filters>
<filter>build.properties</filter>
</filters>
<resources>
<resource>
<directory>src/main/resources</directory>
<filtering>true</filtering>
</resource>
</resources>
</build>
