Maven is a Build Automation tool, or in a more accurate way, a Project Automation Tool<\/p>\n
This is a simple tutorial of how to buld a Java code using Maven. For this we will first create a Java code to display “Hello my world – Shiju Varghese!!”<\/p>\n
Prerequisite:<\/p>\n
Let us create a folder named “\/data\/myProject<\/strong>” and navigate to the folder by using the command “cd \/data\/myProject<\/strong><\/em>”<\/p>\n We have to start this project by crating a “pom.xml<\/strong>” file for the specific project that will assist Maven to build the project. This will inherit other attributes from the super POM. Let us use the posted below code:<\/p>\n ===========<\/p>\n <project><\/em> <groupId>com.shijuvarghese<\/groupId><\/em> <\/project><\/em><\/p>\n ===========<\/p>\n Maven expects the java code in a specific folder. Therefor let us create the required folder using the command “mkdir -p src\/main\/java\/com\/shijuvarghese<\/strong><\/em>” Let us create a java file using an editor, with the file name as hworld.java. The content can be as follows:<\/p>\n =========<\/p>\n package com.shijuvarghese;<\/em><\/p>\n public class hworld {<\/em> ===========<\/p>\n Now come back to the folder having the pom.xml file and execute the command “mvn compile<\/strong><\/em>”<\/p>\n If all goes well without any error, you will see a line towards the end that read “[INFO] BUILD SUCCESS<\/strong>”<\/p>\n To run the java program, go to the classes folder by using the command “cd \/data\/myProject\/target\/classes<\/strong><\/em>” and type the command “java com.shijuvarghese.hworld<\/strong><\/em>“. The result will be a file that displays:<\/p>\n ======== =====<\/p>\n Additional commands:<\/p>\n Clean and remove the class files and folders that was created by Maven : “mvn clean<\/strong><\/em>“<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
\n <modelVersion>4.0.0<\/modelVersion><\/em><\/p>\n
\n <artifactId>helloWorld<\/artifactId><\/em>
\n <version>1.0<\/version><\/em><\/p>\n
\nLet us go to this folder by using the command “cd \/data\/myProject\/src\/main\/java\/com\/shijuvarghese<\/strong><\/em>”<\/p>\n
\n public static void main (String[] args){<\/em>
\n System.out.println (“Hello my world – Shiju Varghese!!”);<\/em>
\n }<\/em>
\n}<\/em><\/p>\n\n
