Apache Maven Training

Apache Maven course is designed to sharpen the mastery of the Maven build automation tool which is used for Java development projects. 

This course will train the participants on how to set up the Maven environment, pull in dependencies by specifying their coordinates, installation and deploy a plugin, generate reports on code that will let developers know when they are running into problems, and how to scale up from simple projects to multi-module projects.

Apache Maven is a software project management and comprehension tool. 

Based on the concept of a project object model (POM), Maven can manage a project’s build, reporting, and documentation from a central repository.
