Maven is the de-facto build tool of choice for Java projects and has wide adoption at the enterprise level.

In this course, you will learn the fundamentals of Maven so that you can start to inject build automation into your own projects. You’ll start by exploring the basics such as plugins, goals, coordinates, and lifecycles.

In the latter half, you will dive into more advanced concepts such as dependencies, inheritance, aggregation, and build profiles. 

By the end of this course, you will have just the right amount of knowledge for you to quickly become productive when working with Maven.

This lesson talks about the pluginManagement element that can be used to consolidate plugin versions across child projects.
