Software Ontwikkeling I Maven Maven is a software tool for Java programming language project management and automated software build. Similar in functionality to the Apache Ant tool but has a simpler build configuration model, based on an XML format. Maven is hosted by the Apache Software Foundation, where it was formerly part of the Jakarta Project. Maven uses a construct known as a Project Object Model (POM) to describe the software project being built, its dependencies on other external modules and components, and the build order. It comes with pre-defined targets for performing certain well defined tasks such as compilation of code and its packaging. Support for download plugins on network repositories and upload completed builds
