Summary
In this chapter, we have learned how to use Maven, the most widely used Java build tool. The heart of Maven is the pom.xml
file; we have seen the most significant sections of this file and what they are used for. Going forward, all the examples will be Maven-based.
By now, you know how to organize the directories for a Maven project, the components of a basic pom.xml
file, and how to invoke Maven to build and execute your program.
Next, we will examine the object-oriented structure of a Java program, what an object is, and the coding syntax for loops and decisions.
