How many of you heard about Maven?Or using it?
• A project management framework from ASF.
• It’s a Uniform Build System.
• Making the build as easy as possible.
• Comprehensive model for software projects.
Maven is…
And Maven also is…
• Convention over Configuration (konfigurasyon yerine kurallar)
• Common Interfaces The time of build engineers is over Stop building the build and focus on development !
• Dependency Management Public repositories
• Plugin Architecture
• Documentation Generate documentation, reports ...
What Maven provides
• You need JDK (not the JRE).
• Just download the binary from http://maven.apache.org/download.cgi.
• Current latest version is 3.2.3.
• Open it up to a folder and add it to the path of the OS / Environment Variable.
Installing Maven
To understand Mavenone first need to
understandthe
Project Object Model(POM)
• It is what makes your project a Maven Project.
• It’s an XML file.
• Not just for building the project; but also, project’s relationship, list of team members, license, SCM and etc.
• Not only for Java projects
• you can build FLEX code with appropriate plugins
• you can build Microsoft binaries from C# code
POM

Simplest POM

$ mvn install
compile coderun tests
package as jardeploy to local repo}
Simplest POM• GAV (groupid - artifactid - version) is the unique
identifier for the project.
• They are also called as the coordinates.
• groupid: is the identifier for a collection of related modules. It’s more like a hierarchy that starts with the organization and then move on with the specific project group. (com.devfesttr)
• artifactid: is the unique identifier or the simple name of the module within a group (MavenApp)
• version: identifier for the build number of the project.
Question here is
How is that possible with 6 lines of XML?
Where do I define the source folders, test folders and all other
stuff ?
• Same analogy with java.lang.Object
• usr/share/Java/maven/lib/maven-model-builder-3.2.3.jar:org/apache/maven/model/pom-4.0.0.xml
• Standard directory layout
• Repo def. for http://repo1.maven.org/maven2
• To see the merged POM: mvn help:effective-pom
Super POM
Let’s create a Maven Project
• We’ll be using Eclipse Kepler
• IDE for version JavaEE Developers is shipping with Maven Plugins.
• We’ll also create a project with the archetype soon.
• 3 built-in Life Cycles default: handles project deployment clean: clean project files generated by a build site: generate project’s site doc.
• Each lifecycle consists of phases in specific order.
• Zero or more goals attached to each phase.
Build LifeCycle
• Process for building and distributing an artefact is clearly defined.
Build LifeCycle

Build LifeCycle
• validate - validate the project is correct and all necessary information is available
• compile - compile the source code of the project
• test - test the compiled source code using a suitable unit testing framework. These tests should not require the code be packaged or deployed
• package - take the compiled code and package it in its distributable format, such as a JAR.
Build LifeCycle• integration-test - process and deploy the package if
necessary into an environment where integration tests can be run
• verify - run any checks to verify the package is valid and meets quality criteria
• install - install the package into the local repository, for use as a dependency in other projects locally
• deploy - done in an integration or release environment, copies the final package to the remote repository for sharing with other developers and projects.
default - full bundle (21 steps)
validate Validates whether project is correct and all necessary information is available to complete the build process.
initialize Initialises build state, for example set properties.generate-sources Generate any source code to be included in compilation phase.process-sources Process the source code, for example, filter any value.generate-resources Generate resources to be included in the package.
process-resources Copy and process the resources into the destination directory, ready for packaging phase.
compile Compile the source code of the project.
process-classes Post-process the generated files from compilation, for example to do bytecode enhancement/optimization on Java classes.
generate-test-sources
Generate any test source code to be included in compilation phase.
process-test-sources Process the test source code, for example, filter any values.
test-compile Compile the test source code into the test destination directory.
process-test-classes Process the generated files from test code file compilation.
default - cont’dtest Run tests using a suitable unit testing framework.
prepare-package Perform any operations necessary to prepare a package before the actual packaging.
package Take the compiled code and package it in its distributable format, such as a JAR, WAR, or EAR file.
pre-integration-test Perform actions required before integration tests are executed. For example, setting up the required environment.
integration-test Process and deploy the package if necessary into an environment where integration tests can be run.
post-integration-test
Perform actions required after integration tests have been executed. For example, cleaning up the environment.
verify Run any check-ups to verify the package is valid and meets quality criterias.
install Install the package into the local repository, which can be used as a dependency in other projects locally.
deploy Copies the final package to the remote repository for sharing with other developers and projects.
• It’s where Maven can ease the development when you have hundreds of modules.
• You may also depend on external frameworks and maven will fetch them from repositories.
• It happens with the Coordinates ! (GAV factor)
Dependency Mechanism
<dependency> <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId> <artifactId>slf4j-api</artifactId> <version>1.7.7</version> <scope>compile</scope> <optional>false</optional></dependency>
• Transitive Dependencies are introduced with Maven version 2.0.
• It allows you get the libraries that your own dependencies require and include them automatically. You don’t need to take care of those explicitly.
• There is no limit to the number of levels on dependencies.
Transitive Dependencies
• If projectX depends on projectY and projectY depends on projectZ, the owner of projectX can define an exclusion on projectZ for not to fetch it while fetching projectY.
Dependency Exclusion
X
Y
Z
Usage of <exclusion>
<dependency>
<groupId>mycompany</groupId>
<artifactId>myproject</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>mycompany</groupId>
<artifactId>myotherproject</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
• Let’s say projectY releases itself and mark its dependency on projectZ as optional. When projectX depends on the projectY, project X will only depend on the Y but not the Z. But it may also add the Z as a dependency if needed.
Optional Dependencies
X
Y
Z(optional)
Usage of <optional>
<dependency>
<groupId>mycompany</groupId>
<artifactId>projectZ</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<optional>true</optional>
</dependency>
• ProjectY defines ProjectZ as below with optional dep.
Sample <dependencies>
<dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework</groupId> <artifactId>spring-core</artifactId> <version>4.1.2.RELEASE</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId> <artifactId>hibernate-core</artifactId> <version>4.3.2.Final</version> </dependency> </dependencies>
Scope for Dependencies

Scope for Dependencies
compile default scope, compile scoped dependencies will be in classpathCTR
provided similar to the compile, artefact should be provided by JDK / container @ runtimeCT
not needed for compilation but need @ runtime runtimeTR
testT dependency only needed for test compilation & execution
with maven 2.0.9...dependency to be replaced with the dependencies in that POM's <dependencyManagement> section.
import---

Release and Snapshot Versioning
• Snapshot versioning: Used by the projects during development as it implies that the project is still under development and it may change. <version>0.0.2-SNAPSHOT</version>
• Release versioning: It’s the versioning that is assumed never to change. Only to be used for a single state of the project when it is released then updated to a next snapshot. <version>0.0.1</version>
Archetypes
• Templates for Maven projects
• Descriptor XML files + Velocity templates
• To create a Maven project:
mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=com.devfesttr -DartifactId=sampleApp -Dversion=1.0-SNAPSHOT -DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.maven.archetypes -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-quickstart -DarchetypeVersion=1.0
Let’s create a Maven Project
with an archetype
• By using an archetype from JBOSS repository
• https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/repositories/releases/archetype-catalog.xml
• We will have Domain classes, Web Pages, in memory database, REST services and etc.

Repositories
• To manage build artefacts and dependencies
• local or remote repositories
• Can store jar, war, ear, ejb, rar ....
• Maven looks to at least 2 repository if none specified - local one (under user home) - http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2 (defined in uber-pom)
• Release & Snapshot repositories
Repositories

Plugins• Plugin-oriented Architecture
plugin for even compiling the code..
• A maven artefact w/ descriptor (plugin.xml) and one or more MOJOs
• A MOJO is a Maven plain Old Java Object. Each mojo is an executable goal in Maven, and a plugin is a distribution of one or more related MOJOs.
• In short, a MOJO is a maven goal, to extend functionality not already found in Maven.
• Plexus as its IoC. (Guice also introduced with version 3.x) Why not Spring?
• List of plugins supported by Maven Project. https://maven.apache.org/plugins

What we did w/ plugins in PrimeFaces
• Component Class
• Tag Handler Class
• Declare Component, Tag, Renderer classes in faces-config.xml
• Declare facelet tag definition
• Declare tld tag definition
• maven-jsf-plugin
• plugin available @ http://repository.primefaces.org/org/primefaces/maven-jsf-plugin
settings.xml
• Maven provides 2 settings file,
• Local settings.xml at %USER_HOME%/.m2/settings.xml
• Global settings.xml at %M2_HOME%/conf/settings.xml
• These files are not bundled with Maven project and don’t get distributed.
• If both files exist, their contents get merged.
• Local settings.xml overrides the global one.
Thank you..!
