ONJava.com: Getting Started with Maven

ONJava.com: Getting Started with Maven: "Getting Started with Maven
by Timothy M. O'Brien, Vincent Massol

Editor's Note: About the tenth time you write the same Ant targets to compile your code, JAR or WAR it, generate Javadocs, etc., you surely must wonder if there's a less tedious way to do things. Maven offers an alternative, by moving your concerns up from the task level to the project-management level: Maven projects already know how to build and bundle code, run tests, generate documentation, and host a project web page.

O'Reilly's new Maven: A Developer's Notebook helps you get your projects up and running quickly, and then offers an in-depth survey of Maven's more advanced features, like its plugins and support for team collaboration. In the sample chapter 'Maven Jump-Start' (656K PDF), authors Vincent Massol and Timothy M. O'Brien show you how to install Maven, kick off your first build, and start investigating its features for integrating with IDEs and source control systems."
