In this book, we wanted to focus on “best practices” and tying  
everything together in a way that shows how Maven was meant to be  
used. It works through a reasonably useful example application from  
scratch, up to an assembly, building it in CI, deploying it to the  
repository, and releasing it.

The book includes:
  Chapter 1: Maven in a Nutshell
  Chapter 2: Staying in Control with Archiva
  Chapter 3: Building an Application Using Maven
  Chapter 4: Application Testing with Maven
  Chapter 5: Reporting and Checks
  Chapter 6: Useful Maven Plugins
  Chapter 7: Maven Best Practices
  Chapter 8: Continuum: Ensuring the Health of your Source Code
  Chapter 9: Continuum in Depth
  Chapter 10: Archiva in a Team
  Chapter 11: Archetypes
  Chapter 12: Maven, Archiva, and Continuum in the Enterprise
  Appendix A: Troubleshooting Maven
  Appendix B: Recent Maven Features
  Appendix C: Migrating Archiva and Continuum Data

the book site.
