Apache Maven Cookbook

Chapter 1. Getting Started

In this chapter, we will cover the basic tasks related to getting started with Apache Maven:

  • Installing Maven on Microsoft Windows
  • Installing Maven on Mac OS X
  • Installing Maven on Linux
  • Changing the JDK used by Maven
  • Creating a simple project with Maven
  • Building a simple project with Maven
  • Changing the location of the Maven repository
  • Running Maven behind an HTTP proxy server
  • Understanding the standard directory layout

Introduction

Apache Maven is a popular tool for build automation, primarily Java projects. Maven addresses two aspects of building software. First, it describes how a software is built and, second, it describes its dependencies. It uses conventions for the build procedure. An XML file describes the software project being built, its dependencies on other external modules and components, the build order, directories, and required plugins. It comes with predefined targets to perform certain well-defined tasks, such as code compilation and its packaging. Maven dynamically downloads Java libraries and Maven plugins from one or more repositories, such as the Maven Central Repository, and stores them locally.

Ever since Maven 1.0 was released in 2004, it has gained popularity and is today the build tool for a large number of open source and commercial projects.

If you are reading this book, then you are not here to understand why Maven is required. You are here to explore Maven and unleash the potential that it offers. The objective of this book is to make the reader aware of Maven's various features, which include installation, configuration, and simple to complex usage by means of examples, illustrations, and working projects.

A brief comparison with other build automation tools

Let's briefly discuss some build automation tools:

  • Make: If you are from the C programming world, chances are you have used Make. Makefiles are not platform-independent. They are not natively compatible with Windows. Thus, they are unsuited to build Java projects.
  • Ant: This is modeled after Make and has targets and dependencies. Each target has a set of tasks. Ant doesn't have any conventions. It is procedural and does not have the concept of a build lifecycle. Maven has conventions, is declarative, and has a lifecycle.

In this chapter, we will cover the basics of Maven—installing the software, verifying the installation, and creating, implementing, and building a simple Java project. We will also cover a few advanced items, such as changing the location of the repository or running Maven behind an HTTP proxy server as it could be relevant to those who have issues with the way Maven works by default.

Let us start by setting up Maven. We will cover how to do this on the three popular operating systems, namely Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.

Great book for those new or experienced to Maven. I wish I had a book like this 5 years ago when I started using Maven. Although I did skim though most of the beginning I did get a lot of good example of best practices and plugin implementations. I highly recommend the book to anybody from developers to configuration management, and would go so far to call the Maven Bible for all practitioners.

When I got the opportunity to review this book, I thought the book would mostly be focused for beginners. Surprised the book has in it for everyone unlike the books released in market earlier. It begins at the very start, with the basics including installation screenshots, explains the concepts of everything you learn. It has got various scenarios of usage, and includes the code in the book. The book provides with best examples and explains how the object oriented approach of maven is used for re usability and flexibility.The book explains about the implementation of different plugins for java code with code and examples viz FindBugs(static analysis tool to bug tracking),PMD(source code analyzer),CheckStyle(Coding standard),Cobertura(Code Coverage),Sonar(Code Quality). All the examples are thoroughly tested and they work the way described in the book.Best of luck !! Go on buy it now :)

This book covers all aspects of development using Maven on major OS platforms and IDEs. In great details explains how to start using Maven in any Enterprise environment, including Enterprise networks with the proxy servers. I believe this is great book for beginners’ as well as senior developers.

This book is a good start, but for me, it left several unanswered questions. The strengths are chapter 3 (Maven Lifecycle), chapter 4 (Essential Maven Plugins) and chapter 5 (Dependency Management). After that, several chapters were devoted to broad-brush descriptions of many Maven Plugins. These chapters weren't really useful. They took space, but didn't provide enough detail. This could have been compressed into a single chapter along the lines of "Maven Plugins you might want to understand/use".The book lacks coverage of profiles and how you pull code from one repo to a push to a local repo (which I believe is vital information that most people will want to cover).

Average book in my opinion. Too many topics brought up without a good explanation. Not sure how this bookreceived 5 stars overall. I must have missed something.

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
