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.

Presentation Information
The Spring Framework and its various related projects have done a great deal to move the Enterprise Java platform forward. The SpringSource group (commercial company now supporting and developing the Spring portfolio) recently released Spring 3.0 in December 2009. Starting in Spring 2.5, the web MVC support has undergone a significant face-lift to simplify web application development. With the new release the Spring MVC module has completed the transition to much simpler model, using POJO-based controller objects and adding extensive support for REST-style controllers and interactions. The talk will cover the overall architecture of Spring MVC, focusing mainly on the new POJO-based controllers now favored over the old abstract controller class hierarchy. Additionally, the talk will cover some interesting new aspects of Spring 3.0 that help solve common application development problems.
