  • Understand the Project Object Model (POM)
  • Build a complete web application using Maven
  • Build and activate profiles
  • Use Maven from Eclipse via the m2eclipse plugin

Audience

This course is targeted to people who will use Maven to build projects and manage product lifecycles using Maven.  They may work on projects that have already been created (i.e. existing project checked out from an SCM system), create new projects based on a Maven archetypes, or produce POM files from scratch.   Occasionally they may need to create plugins and POM files that will be referenced by other developers, and to design and manage the organization’s repositories.
