Course Overview
About Course
Apache Maven is the de‑facto standard for build automation and project management in the Java ecosystem, known for its declarative conventions, dependency handling, and plugin‑based architecture . This 40‑hour immersive course takes developers from initial setup to advanced CI/CD practices. You’ll start by installing Maven, integrating it with your IDE, and executing basic commands.
Early modules establish a deep understanding of the Project Object Model (POM), enabling you to define coordinators, inherit from parent POMs, and use Maven’s standard directory structure. You’ll then master lifecycle phases and default bindings, learning how commands like mvn package transparently invoke compilation, testing, and packaging .
Dependency management is a key highlight: grasping scopes, transitive resolution, and repository usage. The course also dives into plugin configuration and custom plugin development via the Mojo API, empowering you to extend Maven functionality. Multi-module architecture training equips you to handle large-scale projects with localized settings and centralized builds.
Advanced sessions cover POM profiles for environment tailoring, resource filtering, reporting, and plugin usage for code analysis and testing. Continuous integration modules show hands-on integration with Jenkins or GitLab CI, automating compile-test-package-deploy cycles. Quality assurance sessions focus on unit/integration tests and integrating static analysis and test coverage tools.
Finally, you’ll learn best practices for reproducible builds and effective troubleshooting techniques, leveraging official Sonatype references as recommended by expert developers .
Interactive labs, real-time instructor feedback, and a capstone multi-module project complete the learning experience. By course end, you’ll confidently structure Maven POMs, manage complex dependencies, create custom plugins, and automate CI pipelines. Ideal for Java developers, build engineers, and DevOps professionals, this Maven training paves the way to smoother builds, cleaner codebases, and production-ready artifacts.
