The Maven Crash Course is designed to cut academic theory to just the key concepts and focus on basic Maven tasks to become productive quickly.We’ll begin by introducing Maven and walking through its installation, after which we’ll begin working on our first project. We’ll take a look at dependencies, repositories and plugins and we’ll learn how to improve our project by using JUnit for unit testing. Finally, we will start to use Maven within Eclipse, along with the M2Eclipse plugin.

The quizzes at the end of each section reinforce key concepts by testing your knowledge acquired throughout the course.With this course, you’ll be comfortable in using Maven on both a Windows machine as well as a Mac and you will be able to build your Java project more efficiently while managing dependencies in Maven.
