Maven learn review

Today I spend some free time learning how to use Maven to manage the dependencies and create project’s structure. This posts will continue to be updated.

Basic instructions

• mvn clean compile will generate target folder, which contains the class files generated by dependencies.
• mvn clean test will compile and add Junit test module. Need to add junit dependencies to pom.xml first.
• mvn clean package will generate jar file of your project.
• mvn clean install will generate your project into the local repository and let other projects be able to depend on it.

  Write pom.xml

  Write groupId as package name, ArtifactId as project name. Then add dependencies to the <dependencies></dependencies> block.
