= Can Maven2 be Customized or Extended? =

The build behavior of '''Maven2''' is customized and extended through the use of plugins:
 * '''plugins''' provide extensibility and customizability of the build process
 * '''plugins are downloaded and installed automatically on demand''' and are available for:
   * running '''unit tests'''
   * generating '''javadocs'''
   * generating IDE project files for '''tight IDE integration''' and easy maintenance
   * building a project web site
   * everything else ("everything is a plugin")

Writing plugins (in java) is the primary way that you will customize and tailor the build to fit your unique requirements.
