• Maven is a software project management and
  comprehension tool
• Using a project object model (POM), Maven can
  manage a project's build, reporting and
  documentation
• Convention Over Configuration
• Standardized Build Life Cycle

Open Source Tools - Maven

• Module Inheritance
• Plugins (reporting, testing, deployment, etc.)
• Dependency Management
• Artifact Deployment
• Archetypes
• War Overlays

• Extensible continuous integration engine
• Similar to CruiseControl, except that it easy to
  use and entirely browser based
• Job creation literally takes minutes
• Used as CI server and dedicated build machine
• Remote slaves

Open Source Tools - Proximity

• Java web application which serves as Maven proxy
• Acts as one logical repository for publishing
  in-house and other external Maven artifacts which
  are not uploadable to Maven "central repository
  (like commercial projects, J2EE Jars, etc...).

Open Source Tools - Proximity
And this is what all this built up to the Class
of 2002/2003 Winter Semi-Formal. I'm the one in
the duct tape tuxedo, hat, pants, cane, and
shoes. Only the cane (which is over a wooden
dowel rod) and the shoes contain non-duct-tape
components, everything else is 100 pure tape.
My date is Nicki , a friend from Math
223/224. Her complete outfit (not everything
pictured here) includes the dress, a handbag, a
bow (for her hair), and a duct tape rose. Again,
with the exception of the wire stem used in the
rose, everything is 100 pure duct tape.

• Navigate Builds
• Give everyone a Test this Build button
• Allows Testers to Pull their work

Testers can Pull work

Artifact Dissection

• Build once, deploy everywhere
• maven assemble plugin

• Convention over configuration
• Software build as environment-independent
  encapsulated package
• Removing manual barriers
• Integrate often
• I hate live demos!
