Preface
Apache Maven is more than just build automation. When positioned at the very heart of your development strategy, Apache Maven can become a force multiplier not just for individual developers but for Agile teams and managers. This book covers implementation of Apache Maven with popular enterprise technologies/frameworks and introduces Agile collaboration techniques and software engineering best practices integrated with Apache Maven.
The Apache 3 Maven Cookbook is a real-world collection of step-by-step solutions for individual programmers, teams, and managers to explore and implement Apache Maven and the engineering benefits it brings into their development processes.
This book helps with the basics of Apache Maven and with using it to implement software engineering best practices and Agile team collaboration techniques. It covers a broad range of emergent and enterprise technologies in the context of Apache Maven, and concludes with recipes on extending Apache Maven with custom plugins.
We look at specific technology implementations through Apache Maven, including Java Web Applications, Enterprise Java Frameworks, cloud computing, mobile / device development, and more. We also look at Maven integration with popular IDEs, including Eclipse, NetBeans, and IntelliJ IDEA.
The book is rounded off by exploring how to extend the Apache Maven platform by building custom plugins, integrating them with existing projects, and executing them through explicit command-line calls or with Maven build phases.
