Maven Objectives

• Make the build process easy • Provide a uniform build system • Provide quality project information • Provide guidelines for best practices

development • Allow transparent migration to new features

Goals/Plug-ins

« Maven is a build container »

Soaring Eagle L.L.C

Advantages of a Container Approach

• Ability to reuse existing serviceso More than 100 existing Maven plug-ins (jar, cactus,

clover, JIRA, site, dashboard, etc)• Easy to get started

o Just need to configure and extend• Ability to benefit from new services simply by

upgrading• Well-defined and shared structure/architecture

Soaring Eagle L.L.C

Advantages (Cont.)

• Easier to maintaino Knowledgeable resources on the marketo Well-defined structure

• It makes sense to use a custom approach when flexibility is a musto This is not usually the case for builds

Current Versions

• Maven 1o 1.0.2 and 1.1-beta-2o maven commando Cut your teeth here and don’t worry about the beta label

• Maven 2o 2.0.1o mvn commando Can run side by side

Maven 101

• Maven in 3 concepts:o POM (Project Object Model)o Plug-ins

Made of Goals = Actionso Repositories

• Maven files (1.0)o project.xml

POM (Project Object Model)o maven.xml

Custom goals in Jelly Goal, pre-Goal, post-Goal

o project.properties Runtime Configuration

o build.properties Runtime Configuration

Value of a repository structure

• Multiple Levels including environment specific (Dev, QA, Stage, Production)

• Contains Versioned resources• Can control external library usage• Logical Organization of artifacts• Speeds builds using build once philosophy• Provides audit trail (record of build components)• Multilevel security

Deployments with Maven

• It’s still an unconsolidated area in (1.0)• Several plug-ins can be used

o Artifacto SCMo Releaseo Disto Siteo Artifact generation pluginso Weblogic Plugin

• In the future, to be replaced by Maven-Wagon and Maven-SCM

Soaring Eagle L.L.C

Release Management

• Integrates with multiple Source code control systems.

• Integrates with JIRA for release management• Allows for separation of concerns to support SOX

initiatives.• Provides audit trail• Easy automation for no touch build and deployment

o Reduces possibility of errors

Maven integrations• IDE

o Mevenide (Eclipse + Net beans + JBuilder) Goal launcher Search in well known Maven remote repos POM editor POM validation POM/IDE synchronizer Jelly editor Maven builder nature (know which goals should be run when

resources change)• Continuous builds

o Cruise Control, Damage Control, Gump, Continuum• Future (m2): all Java

o Easier integrationo Talks about a Maven IDE

Team organization

• Build Coacho The new type of Quality Manager?o Overall build responsibility

Schedule build improvements in project iterations Defines quality strategies

E.g. Clover: start at 0% and at each iteration increase to level attained. Fail build if below.o Manages build improvementso Improve build-awareness

Every day commit by team Run local build before commits

o Gather build requirements from teams What checkstyle rules do we want to apply? Is the build running fast enough?

o Analyze reasons for build failures• Build leaders in each team

o Analyze build failureso Ensure build failure are given top priority and get fixed ASAPo Coaches team to be build-aware and listen to team
