Welcome to Apache Maven
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.
If you think that Maven could help your project, you can find out more information in the "About Maven"
section of the navigation. This includes an in-depth description of
what Maven is
and
a
list of some of its main features
.
This site is separated into the following sections, depending on how you'd like to use Maven:
Each guide is divided into a number of trails to get you started on a particular topic, and includes a
reference area and a "cookbook" of common examples.
You can access the guides at any time from the left navigation.
If you are looking for a quick reference, you can use the
documentation index
.
How to Get Support
Support for Maven is available in a variety of different forms.
To get started, search the documentation,
issue management system
, the
wiki
or the
mailing list archives
to
see if the problem has been solved or reported before.
If the problem has not been reported before, the recommended way to get help is to
subscribe to the
Maven Users Mailing list
. Many other users and Maven developers
will answer your questions there, and the answer will be archived for others in the future.
You can also reach the Maven developers on
Slack
.
Apache Software Foundation
Maven is a part of the Apache Software Foundation. We'd like to
thank
the sponsors
that provide financial assistance to the foundation. For more information on how you can support the
foundation, see the
sponsorship
page.
You can also attend
Apache Events
. Don't hesitate to ask on the
Maven User mailing list
if Maven team members will be there. It can be a great opportunity to meet them.
