NAME
mvn - Maven - a Java based project management and comprehension tool.
SYNOPSIS
mvn [options] [<goal(s)>] [<phase(s)>]
DESCRIPTION
Maven is a software project management and comprehension tool. Based on the concept of a project object model (POM), Maven can manage a
project's build, reporting and documentation from a central piece of information. Builds, documentation, source metrics, and source cross-
references are all controlled by your POM.
Maven has many goals, but in a nutshell Maven aims to make the developer's life easier by providing a well defined project structure, well
defined development processes to follow, and a coherent body of documentation that keeps your developers and clients apprised of what's
happening with your project. Maven alleviates a lot of what most developers consider drudgery and lets them get on with the task at hand.
This is essential in OSS projects where there aren't many people dedicated to the task of documenting and propagating the critical
information about your project which is necessary in order to attract potential new developers and clients.
