Presentation Information

The Apache Maven Project is a software project management and comprehension tool. It has introduced a greatly simplified the build process and stresses Convention versus Configuration. Maven defines projects via a Project Object Module and uses that information for automated builds and deployments. It is highly extensible via plugins, but performs most common build tasks straight out of the box. This presentation will perform a high level demo of Maven, then will discuss the new Maven 3.0 beta release.
