Maven

Maven is a powerful build automation tool predominantly used in Java projects to manage project builds, dependencies, and documentation. It simplifies the build process by using a standardized project structure, and its XML-based "pom.xml" file allows developers to manage project metadata and dependencies systematically. Maven's central repository offers a vast array of libraries and plugins, enabling developers to easily integrate and manage third-party libraries. By supporting lifecycle management, Maven automates repetitive tasks like compilation, packaging, and deployment, which enhances productivity and consistency across projects. Additionally, Maven's large ecosystem and seamless integration with IDEs and CI/CD pipelines make it a preferred choice for Java-based projects in both large-scale enterprise environments and small teams.
