+ <div class="section"><h2>History of Maven by Jason van Zyl<a name="History_of_Maven_by_Jason_van_Zyl"></a></h2><p>Maven began its life in the <a class="externalLink" href="http://jakarta.apache.org">Jakarta</a> <a class="externalLink" href=" http://jakarta.apache.org/alexandria/legacy/">Alexandria</a> project. The Alexandria project is now defunct but was the breeding ground for not only Maven, but for the <a class="externalLink" href="http://gump.apache.org">Gump</a> and <a class="externalLink" href="http://forrest.apache.org">Forrest</a> projects as well.</p><!-- From the old {{{http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/jakarta-alexandria/proposal/maven/?hideattic=0}CVS}} archive --><p>The first import of prototype sources happened in <a class="externalLink" href="http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/jakarta-alexandria-dev/200108.mbox/%3c20010827163505.53005.qmail@icarus.apache.org%3e">August 2001</a>. As of the date of this document (October 2005) Maven was <a class="
externalLink" href="http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/jakarta-alexandria-dev/200202.mbox/%3c20020202153719.50163.qmail@icarus.apache.org%3e">removed</a> from Alexandria about 3 years, 7 months ago making Maven about 4 years old! Maven spent about 5 months as part of the Alexandria before moving on to its next home in the <a class="externalLink" href="http://turbine.apache.org/">Turbine</a> project.</p><p>Though Maven started in Alexandria the test bed for its use was the Turbine project. Turbine was in the process of decoupling its persistence layer, services layer and web layer into separate builds and I got very tired of having to maintain several different builds which were essentially the same. There was no way to easy template Ant builds in those days and every ant build appeared to be different and I found this incredibly frustrating and futile. I figured who really cares how the build works so long as it works and is easy to use. The infrastructure of a project
is incredibly important but the value of a project lies in the application being developed. As such the build is generally neglected and tends to fall apart when you need it to work most like when you need to prepare a release or when more then a couple of people are working on the project. In Jakarta land four years ago it was rare that a Ant build worked out of the box. Mind you many Turbine developers suffered as I tried to get Maven working which is something I regret, but I figure how do new projects start and survive if someone doesn's suffer. I figured it was for their own good (I've been known to have an opinion or two) and after much gnashing of teeth I think Maven has finally come of age. It reminds me of one of my favourite quotes from Ralph Johnson and Don Roberts in Patterns for Evolving Frameworks:</p><p><i>People develop abstractions by generalizing from concrete examples. Every attempt to determine the correct abstraction on paper without actually developing
a running system is doomed to failure. No one is that smart. A framework is a resuable design, so you develop it by looking at the things it is supposed to be a design of. The more examples you look at, the more general your framework will be.</i></p><p>I didn't really know what the final result would look like I just knew there had to be a better way. But to start with I know I wanted:</p><ul><li><b>A model for a project</b> so you could look in one place for everything that pertained to the project</li><li><b>A standard directory structure</b> so you didn't have to go fishing around for libraries, sources and documentation</li></ul><p>So started using a model with a simple XML representation and picked what I thought were some decent standards for a directory structure and that's how it started. I was still using Ant under the covers but I had some standard targets that could be used in each of the Turbine builds and that made me happy.</p><p>As noted above one of the pro
jects in Alexandria at the time was Gump. Sam Ruby tried to convince me that using the Gump model would be a good idea so I took a look. After taking a look at the descriptors I noted that Gump pretty much allowed any project to do whatever it wanted in terms of directory structure, use of JARs in CVS, multiple artifacts per project, documentation splayed everywhere, and several other things that made no sense to me as Gump was not trying to standardize anything at the time but trying to continuously integrate anything it could get its hands on. My goals were different and I wanted to make an <a class="externalLink" href="http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/network/2005/08/30/ruby-rails-david-heinemeier-hansson.html">opinionated</a> piece of software and I preferred the notion of convention over configuration. I wanted a project's infrastructure to look the same and work the same so I continued to pursue my own model for a project and decided to disagree with Gump's particular t
act at project modelling which I thought was too flexible. I wanted to save people time by being able to find things in the same place. Again the value in a project is the final result: how it is constructed and built predictable and easy. I fully admit some warts in Maven 1.x sometimes made things harder but that is par for the course with first generation tools.</p><p>The next thing I noticed were all the JARs that we were depending on were stored in CVS. We had many copies of Xerces laying around which is a waste of space, every time the version of Xerces changed I had to update the copies of Xerces in each of the projects, but more importantly without some declarative statement of your dependencies there is no way you could perform any analysis. People tend to miss the point entirely regarding a declarative dependency use. People say it's so easy just to store their dependencies in an SCM but try decomposing your big crappy build into components to encourage reuse and ea
se of maintenance, or try to analyze what you might need at runtime between all your different apps with commons dependencies in the graph and you're shit out of luck. The true power of declarative dependencies lies not in the fact that you can save a few bytes of disk space, though it can really add up if you're not careful, but in the analysis that can be performed. Once you have a decent graph all sorts of things are possible. Back to history: so now that declarative dependencies existed it needed to be easier ...</p><p>This is when I decided to employ standard Java-like inheritance in the model used and find a way to create a repository for things you need to build. So I hacked in some inheritance goop and now it was time for the repository. I asked around Apache to see if it would be possible to host a repository and soon found out that it was not possible to host non-Apache-like artifacts. So LGPL and GPL artifacts were out which didn't really make for a useful reposit
ory. After a little hunting I found <a class="externalLink" href="http://www.ibiblio.org">Ibiblio</a> which is a vast archive of all sorts of neat stuff including tons of free software. One of the mandates of Ibiblio is to aid in the dispersal of free software. Sounded perfect to me so I got in contact with John Reuning at Ibiblio and the rest is history. Working with the folks at Ibiblio has been a pleasure, the admins there are an amazingly helpful and talented bunch. They let us store whatever free software we want, provide great stats, and will let us host any software we want. Ibiblio is very cool.</p><p>Many people had some problems with Maven 1.x but it generally worked and all tools in their first generation suffer from many short comings and the only way to overcome that is to forge ahead and try to create something better the next time around. With all the feed back the Maven developers have received from 1.x users and during the betas of 2.0 we think we've finally
got something to build on. The first version of Maven was written by myself with lots of help from Bob McWhirter</p><!-- jar jar --><!-- ibiblio reasons --><!-- maven top-level project --><!-- use of jelly --><!-- move toward 1.0 --><!-- development of m2 --><!-- present day --></div>

+ <div class="section"><h2>Philosophy of Maven<a name="Philosophy_of_Maven"></a></h2><p>Maven is generally considered by many to be a build tool. Many people who come to Maven initially are familiar with Ant so it's a natural association but Maven is not just a build tool, and not just a replacement for Ant. Maven is an entirely different creature from Ant. Ant is simply a toolbox whereas Maven is about the application of patterns in order to achieve an infrastructure which displays the characteristics of visibility, reusability, maintainability, and comprehensibility.</p><p>Without these characteristics it is highly improbable that multiple individuals will work productively together on a project. Without visibility it is unlikely an individual will know what another has accomplished and as such there is a very good chance useful code will not be reused. When code is not reused it is very hard to create a maintainable system. When everyone is constantly rooting around
trying to figure out where all these different bits and pieces are that make up your project there is very little chance anyone is going to comprehend the project as a whole. As a result you end up with the silo effect, a decay of shared knowledge along with the commensurate degree of frustration among team members. A natural effect when processes don't work in the same way for everyone.</p><p>Maven was born of the very practical desire to make several projects at Apache work in the same way. So that developers could freely move between these projects, knowing clearly how they all worked by understanding how one of them worked. If a developer spent time understanding how one project built it was intended that they would not have to go through this process again when they moved on to the next project. The same idea extends to testing, generating documentation, generating metrics and reports, testing and deploying. All projects share enough of the same characteristics, an und
erstanding of which Maven tries to harness in its general approach to project management. On a very high level all projects need to be built, tested, packaged, documented and deployed. Of course there is infinite variation in each of the above mentioned steps, but this variation still occurs within the confines of a well defined path and it is this path that Maven attempts to present to everyone in a clear way. The easiest way to make a path clear is to provide people with a set of patterns that can be shared by anyone involved in a project.</p></div>

+ <div class="section"><h2>The Maven Community<a name="The_Maven_Community"></a></h2><p>Maven, like any other opensource project, relies heavily on the efforts of the entire user community to be ever vigilent for improvements, logging of defects, communicating use-cases, generating documentation, and being wary of other users in need. This is a quick guide outlining what members of the Maven community may do to make the system work better for everyone.</p><div class="section"><h3>Helping With Maven<a name="Helping_With_Maven"></a></h3><p>There is already a comprehensive <a href="./guides/development/guide-helping.html">Guide to Helping With Maven</a>. That guide focuses upon beginning as a supporter, with information on how to help the coding effort.</p><div class="section"><h4>Commit Questions or Answers to the Maven User FAQ<a name="Commit_Questions_or_Answers_to_the_Maven_User_FAQ"></a></h4><p>Documentation is currently a very high priority for the Maven community.
Please help out where ever you can, specifically in the work-in-progress <a class="externalLink" href="http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVENUSER/FAQs">FAQ Wiki</a>.</p></div><div class="section"><h4>Help Log Defects in JIRA<a name="Help_Log_Defects_in_JIRA"></a></h4><p>Just as any other healthy project requires a quick turn-around on defects, and a transparent method of users to have their wishes heard, so too does Maven need your help. Refer to the <a href="./issue-tracking.html">Issue Tracking</a> page.</p></div><div class="section"><h4>Developers<a name="Developers"></a></h4><p>For Maven developers, commiters, PMC: there is a <a href="./developers/index.html">Developers Guide</a>.</p></div></div><div class="section"><h3>Being a Good Maven Citizen<a name="Being_a_Good_Maven_Citizen"></a></h3><p>The concept of a public repository built into the core architecture of Maven makes it necessarily community-centric. There are a few simple things that Maven users may do to help k
eep that community thriving.</p><div class="section"><h4>Be a Kind Public Repository User<a name="Be_a_Kind_Public_Repository_User"></a></h4><p>The best thing that a user can do is to set up their own remote repository mirror containing the projects needed. There are several tools to make this simpler, such as <a class="externalLink" href="http://nexus.sonatype.org/">Nexus</a> or <a class="externalLink" href="http://maven.apache.org/archiva/">Archiva</a>. This reduces strain on the Maven central repository, and allows new users to get acquainted with Maven easier and quicker. This is especially important for power-users and corporations. The incentive behind this is, controlling your own servers can give you desired level of security and more control over uptime, resulting in a better experience for your users. With that said, keep the following sentiment in mind:</p><p><i>DO NOT wget THE ENTIRE REPOSITORY!</i></p><p>Please take only the jars you need. We understand this is
may entail more work, but grabbing all 9+ Gigs of binaries really kills our servers.</p></div><div class="section"><h4>Host a Mirror<a name="Host_a_Mirror"></a></h4><p>As an extention to the previous statement, if you have access to a large data repository with lots of bandwidth, please consider becomming a mirror for the Maven central repository.</p><p>As you can imagine, thousands of users downloading can put quite a strain on one server. If you wish to be a mirror, please file a request in the <a class="externalLink" href="http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPA">Maven Project Administration</a> JIRA project.</p></div><div class="section"><h4>Host a Public Repository<a name="Host_a_Public_Repository"></a></h4><p>If you have any projects that you wish others to use, host them on your own public repository. That way, your users can simply add your repository to their own project repo list, and viola! Maven can keep you and your users in synch, growing your user-base due simply
to its new-found ease of use.</p></div></div><div class="section"><h3>User Gathering Spots<a name="User_Gathering_Spots"></a></h3><p>These are a few of the watering holes around which Maven users tend to gather.</p><div class="section"><h4>Mailing Lists<a name="Mailing_Lists"></a></h4><p>Maven has a number of <a href="./mail-lists.html">Mailing Lists</a>, and the Maven User List is specifically dedicated to answering questions about all Maven things.</p></div><div class="section"><h4>IRC (Internet Relay Chat)<a name="IRC_Internet_Relay_Chat"></a></h4><p>Log into the <tt>#maven</tt> IRC channel on <tt>irc.codehaus.org</tt>. If you would like to access this over a web interface, you can do so at <a class="externalLink" href="http://irc.codehaus.org/">http://irc.codehaus.org/</a> or <a class="externalLink" href="irc://irc.codehaus.org/maven">irc://irc.codehaus.org/maven</a>. IRC logs are browsable at: <a class="externalLink" href="http://irc.rectang.com/logs/codehaus/%23maven/"
