Apache Maven
A build tool for Java projects.
Apache Maven is an open source build tool for Java projects. It uses a project object model (POM) to manage a project's compilation, testing, and documentation, and is part of the Apache Software Foundation.
The tool includes plugins and extensions for builds, a Maven Central Repository for project metadata, and support for writing Maven plugins. Maven 4 is documented alongside migration guidance, including the Maven Upgrade Tool and information on migrating plugins to the new Maven 4 API. Guides cover use, extension, and contribution, with reference material and common examples.
Maven is aimed at Java developers building projects, plugin developers, and contributors to the project itself. It is open source and available under the Apache Software Foundation, with support offered through documentation, an issue management system, a wiki, mailing list archives, the Maven Users Mailing list, and Slack.
