Apache Maven (http://maven.apache.org/index.html) 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. Maven's primary goal is to allow a developer to comprehend the complete state of a development effort in the shortest period of time.
Sometimes there are several projects each with their own Ant build files that are all slightly different and JARs were checked into CVS. In this case we wand a standard way to build the projects, a clear definition of what the project consisted of, an easy way to publish project information and a way to share JARs across several projects. The result is a tool that can now be used for building and managing any Java-based project.
If you have eclipse indigo or juno, you may install it using one of the following methods:
1. You can use Eclipse Marketplace from Help menu (http://marketplace.eclipse.org/marketplace-client-intro?mpc_install=252). You can do a search for "maven integration" and then select "Maven Integration for Eclipse" and press "Install" button below (If you had already installed the same button reads "Update"):
2. You may copy-paste link http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/releases from http://www.eclipse.org/m2e/download/ to Help menu / Install New Software ... and pressing Next (and Accept license if requested).
