Apache Maven is a comprehensive project management and build automation tool primarily used for Java projects, facilitating dependency management, project build standardization, and plugin integration. It emphasizes a convention-over-configuration approach, streamlining the development process by adhering to predefined project structures and configurations for efficient and consistent builds. In this course, you will be introduced to Apache Maven. You will first install Apache Maven on both Windows and MacOS. Through hands-on activities, you will learn to set up your first Maven project, understand its directory layout, and appreciate the significance of the pom.xml file in project configuration. Next, you will explore the core aspects of Maven, including compiling and running projects, utilizing the .m2 local Maven cache, and embracing Maven's "convention over configuration" philosophy. You will configure your projects using the pom.xml, explore project documentation through site generation, and ensure your builds are compatible and consistent by specifying encodings and JDK versions. Finally, you will tackle the intricacies of managing project dependencies. This includes understanding and implementing dependency versions and scopes, as well as resolving conflicts between multiple versions of the same dependency.
