What is  Maven ?

Maven is a build automation tool used primarily for Java projects.
Maven addresses two aspects of building software:
first, it describes how software is built, and second, it describes its dependencies.
Maven dynamically downloads Java libraries and Maven plug-ins from one or more repositories such as the Maven 2 Central Repository, and stores them in a local cache.
