Maven: A Developer's Notebook
Maven is a new project management and comprehension tool
which provides an elegant way to share build logic across
projects. In terms of capabilities, Maven is an improvement
to Apache Ant-thanks to numerous plug-ins and built-in
integration with unit testing frameworks such as JUnit.
Tired of writing the same build logic for
every project?
Using Maven, you can leverage the experience of the
community to avoid the tedious process of creating yet
another build script for each new project.
Maven: A Developer's Notebook begins by introducing you to
the concept of project object model (POM), and then offers
further details on the essential features of Maven. Like all
titles in O'Reilly's Developer's Notebook series, this
no-nonsense book skips the boring prose and cuts right to
the chase. It's an approach that forces you to get your
hands dirty by working through a series of poignant
labs-exercises that speak to you instead of at you.
Plus, Maven: A Developer's Notebook is the first book on the
subject to hit the market, so you know the information is
fresh and timely. If you're a Java programmer, you'll be
armed with all the critical information you need to get up
to speed on this powerful new build tool. You'll discover
how Maven can help you:
manage a project's build, reporting, and documentation, all
from a central piece of information
break a complex project into a series of smaller subprojects
report on code quality, unit tests, code duplication, and
project activity
create a custom remote repository
build simple and complex plug-ins
In the end, you'll find yourself spending less time working
on your project's build system and more time working on your
project's code.
