Apache Maven Training Course

According to your profile Maven will help you in your day to day work. As we mention some of the benefits:

• Developers: As a developer you will be using Maven to create projects, manage the dependencies, compile your code, run your tests, deploy your components … Maven will become part of your every day development tools.
• Technical lead profiles: Integrating Maven as a build tool will have significant impact on the project: 
• Managing dependencies will become easy (Maven dependency management)
• Complex builds will be significantly simplified (Maven build profiles)
• The project architecture will be managed smoothly (inheritance and multimodule projects)
• Project Managers: Maven will enforce standardization and collaboration:
• “Project Object Model” is the standard Maven introduces for projects
• Maven uses build lifecycles for developers to compile, test and report, deploy
• Maven repositories will act as a common store and gather releases and third party libraries

Release Managers: Maven repository managers will act as highly configurable proxies between your organization and public Maven repositories they also provide an organization with a deployment destination for your builds.
