The



Maven Quick Start



course is designed to cut academic theory to just the key concepts and focus on basic tasks in Maven to be productive quickly. The lessons and examples provided are delivered in a step-by-step, detailed way to ensure mastery of the skills and topics covered.

Course Outline

Introduction



walks through the course goals, approach, and the core concepts of Maven.

After that, we breeze through the installation of all required tools in the



Quick Installation



section. The full step-by-step installation process is available in the Bonus sections.

In



Setup and Getting Help



, we cover how to ask for help in Maven. We also download the course working files on GitHub.

With the formalities out of the way, we dive into a



Maven Quick Start By Example



, walking the foundational aspects of Maven using a sample application.

After the basics are covered, we explore



Maven Plugins



in more detail by customizing our project using them.

One of the key aspects of Maven is how it handles



Dependencies



. We go deeper by adding dependencies from Maven Central and explore the role of scopes with dependencies in Maven.

Then we improve our project by



Unit Testing



— where we add JUnit tests, and deal with (and avoid) testing failures. Finally, the last section of the main part of this course is dedicated to running



Maven within Eclipse



using the M2Eclipse plugin.

Finally, we will look at



Using Archetypes



to jump-start Maven projects by using a template system.

During the entire course, we get into a habit of saving our changes periodically using Git source control.
