Apache Maven is a Java build and project-management tool that coordinates dependencies, lifecycles, plugins, and artifacts through a declarative project description.
Maven emerged at Apache from the need to make Java builds consistent and understandable across projects. Apache documentation and the Maven repository show its evolution from a Java build system into an ecosystem of conventions and plugins.
The pom.xml describes project coordinates, dependencies, and plugins. Maven runs a lifecycle goal such as compile, test, or package; phases invoke bound plugin goals. A local or remote repository supplies versioned artifacts.
The Project Object Model file describes a Maven project.
It orders standardized build phases.
It stores and distributes versioned artifacts and metadata.
Maven provides repeatable Java builds and dependency resolution. Versioning, plugin configuration, and reproducibility need deliberate maintenance.
