Maven and IVY Dependency Management II

Maven Dependency Management


There have been many blogs written about Maven, and how it can be used. What I really haven't seen is an explanation for how it should be used. I have done quite a bit of reading through many blogs, and found answers to some of my questions.


Most of those questions were answered by reading the documentation provided by Apache. The problem really is knowing how to read the Apache documentation so that it makes sense.



  • Enables me to find compatibilities/incompatibilities in libraries without having to sweat the details.

  • Integrates ok with Eclipse Ganymede

  • Creates an out of the box build system that can compete with anything I can write

  • Integrates via plugin with any open source build tool imaginable
