Maven workshop
tuesday - afternoon
Apache Maven is a software project management and comprehension tool. Based on the concept of a project object model (POM), Maven can manage a project's build, reporting and documentation from a central piece of information. The theme of Maven is to standardize the build process and has successfully done so, leading to it being close to de facto standard in the open source world and within the enterprises.
Related development tools such as m2eclipse will also be covered.
Maven

Maven 3.0 will be the version Maven for the people. The Maven team has gone to the ends of the earth to ensure backward compatibility, improve usability, increase performance, allow safe embedding, and pave the way for implement many highly demanded features.
Some of the process changes include setting up a multi-platform Hudson grid, building out a framework of over 440 integration tests, creating integration tests for all core Maven plugins.
