The All-in-One Guide to Java Programming

**Maven** is an XML based declarative project manager commonly used for Java projects. However, Maven encompasses much, much more than just building Java projects. Maven is also a set of standards that allows Java/JVM developers to easily define and integrate dependencies into large projects. Maven somewhat replaces Ant but can also integrate with it and other build tools.

Maven is a build system using XML files. It defines  project dependencies and how the project should be built. It uses a declarative approach and has a predefined life cycle, although you can also execute arbitrary code. Central to Maven is the “repository,” which stores compiled JAR files (and other things). The company behind Maven provides their own open repository (Maven Central), but anyone can set up their own.

Maven was mostly a reaction to the huge number of open-source libraries that Java projects tend to rely on. Although Maven is an Apache open-source project, it could be said that the core of Maven is Maven Central, a repository of open-source libraries run by Sonatype, which is the company behind Maven.


Ivy is a similar build tool, but it is more closely related to Ant. Many build tools such as Ivy and Gradle⁶² build on top of Maven’s concept.
