According to Maven’s web site: “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”.

I’m pretty impressed on what Maven can do for my projects, I’m sure it would do as well on yours! I’ve assembled this small tutorial on how to use Maven from inside NetBeans 6.5 IDE.

NOTE: The text is somewhat readable only in high-res mode. You may consider using full-screen mode as well.

I hope you enjoy it.
