Based on the concept of a project object model (POM), Apache Maven is a project management software as well as build automation and comprehension tool. Explore the flexibility offered by Maven in the creation of Java archives or JAR files using this course. Try your hand at using Apache Maven to build a Java application and package it into an executable JAR file, create a JAR file for an app with external dependencies and ways to execute it, and package your Java app along with all of its external dependencies into a single package known as a fat or uber JAR. Having finished this course, you'll have the skills and knowledge to build lean as well as uber JAR files using Apache Maven.
