What is a Build Tool?
If you want to run your java code independently, then it is good to integrate your project with build tool.
This build tool will setup every thing which is requied to run your java code independently.
It makes programmer's life easy while handling the huge project by providing a common platform.
It generates source code, compiling code, packaging code to a jar etc.
What is Maven ?
Maven is a build tool and it performs very simillar to Ant which is a different build tool.
Basically Maven is a Software Project management tool which provides new concept of project object model (POM).
It allows the user to automate the process of creation of the initial folder structure, performing and compilation and testing and the packaging and deployment of the final project and makes it one step process to do a build. IT Makes build consistent with another project.
Maven is also used to manage the dependencies.
What problems does maven solves ?
For project development/Testing we need a lot of JAR files like Selenium, TestNG, Spring etc..
first we need to download them and then import these JAR files in build path in project.
but with Maven we just need to add the dependencies...
Maven will go out and download the JAR files for those projects for you.
and maven will make those jar files available during compile/run.
Maven Repository
This is the place where Maven stores all the projects jars files or libraries or dependencies. By default the folder name is `.m2` and by default the location in window 7 is ‘Libraries\Documents\.m2‘.
Maven Central Repository
Mavel central repository is the default location ‘http://mvnrepository.com/‘ for Maven to download all the project dependency libraries.
Maven Local Repository : Local machine repository with in folder .m2
maven Central Repository : https://repo1.maven.org/maven2
maven remote repository : https://mvnrepository.com
Features of Maven :-
1.You can view the output of Maven commands inside the Eclipse, using its own console.
2.It does the dependency management for Eclipse build path based on Maven's pom.xml.
3.It automatic downloads the required dependencies and sources from the remote Maven repositories.
4. It resolves Maven dependencies from the Eclipse workspace without installing to local Maven repository (requires dependency project be in same workspace).
Maven is a Software Management and comprehension tool and it is based on the concept
of Project Object Model(POM) which can manage project build, reporting and documentation
from a central peice of information.
All build syystems are essentially the same :
> Compile Source code
> Copy Resource
> Compile and Run Tests
> Package Project
> Deploy Project
> Cleanup
Developers of maven wanted :
> A standard way to build the projects
> A clear definition of what the project consisted of
> An easy way to publish project information and a way to share JARs across several projects.
> The result is a tool that can now be used for building and managing any java-based project.
> Intended to make the day-to-day work of java developers easier and generally help with the comprehension of any java-based project.
What is POM ?
"As a fundamental unit of work in maven, POM is an XML file that contains information about project and configuration details used by Maven to build the project".
POM Stands for Project Object Model :-
> Describe a project
> Name and version, Artifact Type, Source Code Locations, Dependencies.
> Plugins
> Profile(Alternate build configuration)
> Uses XML by default
> Not the way Ant uses XML
POM File Structure :
pom.xml :
Project meta data : Project name, version etc. Output file type : JAR, WAR...
Meta data Example :
<groupId> </groupId>
<artifactId><</artifactId>
<version>&/ltversion>
<packaging></packaging>
<name></name>
dependencies : List of projects we depend on Spring, Hibernate etc.
<dependencies></dependency></dependency>
</dependencies>
plug ins : Additional custom tasks to run : generate JUnit test reports etc.
Maven's Objectives
> Making the build process easy
> Providing a uniform build system
> Providing quality project information
> Providing guuidelines for best practices development
> Allowing transparent migration to new features.
Maven Build life cycle :
a). validate
b). compile
c). test
d). package
e). verify
f). Install
Example :
mvn compile : make available target folder
mvn test : surefire reports
mvn verify : verify jar file
mvn intall : put jar file under local repository
Maven Basic Commonds
maven clean : cleans the maven project by deleting the target directory

When you will create maven project, there will be two folders :
src/main/java
All the source code that you put, will display under the main/java package.
src/test/java
The code that you want to test, will display under test/java package.
Also :-
src/main/java : Your Java source code
src/main/resource : Properties/config files used by your app
src/main/webapp : JSP files and web config files other web assets(images, css , js etc)
src/test : Unit testing code and properties
target : Destination directory for compiled code. Automatically created by Maven.
what are the plugins in Maven?
Maven is based on plugin execution framework, you can also call plugin as feature of Maven where plugin use to do every task.
Plugins in Maven generally use to do :-
Create Jar/War file
Compile code files
Perform Unit testing on Test code (code which is present in src/test)

If you are facing below issue
then here is the solution :-
Unable to locate the Javac Compiler in:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\..\lib\tools.jar
Please ensure you are using JDK 1.4 or above and
not a JRE (the com.sun.tools.javac.Main class is required).
Open the eclipse --> Navigate to Window --> Preferences --> As shown in below image
Now in the popup window go to Java --> Installed JREs as shown in below image
Now select the JRE & click on Edit button as shown in below image
Now click on Directory button in JRE installer window as shown in below image
Now go to your directory "C" or where you have installed your JDK file, select it as shown below
