Maven

Maven
Maven is a build automation tool developed in Java, mainly used to manage and streamline the build process of Java-based applications. It simplifies tasks like compilation, testing, and packaging through a centralized configuration.

• Uses a POM (Project Object Model) to manage project structure and dependencies
• Automates tasks like compilation, testing, and packaging
• Maintains all project configurations in a single pom.xml file

Maven Project Structure

• src/main/java: It contains the main Java source code.
• src/main/resources: It contains non-Java resources used by the application.
• src/main/webapp: It contains resources for web applications.
• src/test/java: It contains test source code.
• src/test/resources: It contains resources used for testing.
• target: It contains compiled classes, packaged JARs/WARs, and other built artifacts.
• pom.xml: The Project Object Model file that defines the project configuration, dependencies, and build settings.
