The book is the first about Maven 2, and was written by Maven developers myself, Jason van Zyl, John Casey, Vincent Massol, and Carlos Sanchez. The chapters include:

  • An introduction to Maven 2.0
  • Creating, compiling and packaging your first project
  • Best practices and real-world examples
  • Building J2EE Applications
  • Extending builds by creating your own Maven plugins
  • Monitoring the health of source code, testing, dependencies and releases
  • Team collaboration and utilising Continuum for continuous integration
  • Converting existing Ant builds to Maven
If you happened to get the pre-release before today, the book has been updated - you can download it again from the website.
