Apache Maven | Build Automation & Dependency Management Mastery

Master Apache Maven — Automate Builds, Manage Dependencies & CI/CD Integration with Live Instructor-led Online Training

Apache Maven training by Laliwala IT is designed for Java developers, DevOps engineers, and build managers who want to master the industry standard build automation tool. Based in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India, we deliver live, interactive, project-based training covering Maven's project object model (POM), dependency management, multi-module projects, plugins, and CI/CD integration.

Our online Maven course features real-time instructor-led classes, hands-on project labs, flexible schedules, and career mentoring. Whether you're building enterprise Java applications or standardizing build processes across teams, this training will make you a Maven expert.

Detailed Curriculum Highlights

Week 1: Maven Core & Dependency Management

  • Maven installation and configuration on Windows/Linux/Mac
  • Understanding settings.xml: localRepository, mirrors, proxies, servers
  • Creating first Maven project: POM.xml breakdown (modelVersion, groupId, artifactId, version, packaging)
  • Standard directory layout (src/main/java, src/test/java, resources, webapp)
  • Dependency scopes: compile, test, provided, runtime, system, import
  • Transitive dependency resolution and conflict resolution (nearest definition, dependency management)
  • Excluding transitive dependencies and dependency convergence checks

Week 2: Build Lifecycles, Plugins & Multi-Module Projects

  • Maven build lifecycle phases and their execution order
  • Binding plugins to lifecycle phases (maven-compiler-plugin, maven-surefire-plugin)
  • Creating executable JARs with maven-assembly-plugin and maven-shade-plugin
  • Building WAR, EAR, and OSGi bundles using Maven plugins
  • Multi-module project structure: parent POM with modules declaration
  • Inheritance vs aggregation: dependencyManagement and pluginManagement
  • Building specific modules and reactor ordering (-pl, -am, -amd flags)

Week 3: Profiles, Properties & Repositories

  • Maven profiles for environment-specific configurations (dev, test, prod)
  • Profile activation via properties, JDK version, OS, or missing files
  • Maven properties: pom, settings, environment variables, custom properties
  • Resource filtering: replacing placeholders in properties/config files
  • Setting up Nexus or Artifactory as corporate repository manager
  • Deploying artifacts to remote repositories (deploy phase)
  • Using archetypes to generate project scaffolds (custom archetype creation)

Week 4-5: CI/CD Integration & Capstone Project

  • Integrating Maven with Jenkins: pipeline scripts, Maven Integration plugin
  • GitHub Actions: building Maven projects on push/PR, caching dependencies
  • GitLab CI: Maven stages, artifact publishing to package registry
  • Maven release plugin: preparing releases, tagging, deploying to Nexus
  • Enforcer plugin: enforcing Java version, Maven version, dependency convergence
  • Dependency analysis: identifying unused or duplicate dependencies
  • Capstone: Create a multi-module microservices build with shared parent POM, run CI pipeline, and publish artifacts
