Maven’s Objectives

Maven’s primary goal is to allow a developer to comprehend the complete state of a development effort in the shortest period of time. In order to attain this goal, there are several areas of concern that Maven attempts to deal with:

• Making the build process easy
• Providing a uniform build system
• Providing quality project information
• Providing guidelines for best practices development
• Allowing transparent migration to new features

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 piece of information.

总的来说，自己目前用到的功能如下

• 下载jar包，通过添加配置在pom.xml文件来下载新的包
• 打包，通过pom设置，可以把项目打成jar或者war包
• 项目依赖管理， 父子项目，还有子项目直接可以相互引用
