Better Builds With Maven available as a free download.

Interested in Maven? This book is probably for you and it’s free (after registration.) Here’s a glimpse at what it covers:

  • An introduction to Maven 2.0
  • Advanced tools for “power” users
  • Creating J2EE builds and using J2EE models
  • Extending builds through plugins
  • Monitoring source code, testing, dependencies and releases
  • Leveraging repositories, continuous integration and transitive dependency
  • Converting existing Ant builds http://www.mergere.com/m2book_download.jsp

Don’t have a clue what Maven is?

Maven was originally started as an attempt to simplify the build processes in the Jakarta Turbine project. There were several projects each with their own Ant build files that were all slightly different and JARs were checked into CVS. We wanted a standard way to build the projects, a clear definition of what the project consisted of, an easy way to publish project information and a way to share JARs across several projects.
The result is a tool that can now be used for building and managing any Java-based project. We hope that we have created something that will make the day-to-day work of Java developers easier and generally help with the comprehension of any Java-based project. What is Maven?
