Welcome to the Maven 2 Prototype (i.e., m2prototype) project! This project has been created to assist developers who are new to the Apache Maven 2 Project Management Process. It is distributed as an Eclipse Project. In addition, it makes use of the Maven 2.x Eclipse Plugin.
This project is most appropriate for Developers who want to study
how to manage projects using Maven 2. The site you are now viewing
is the result of using the site goal on the m2prototype
project. From the command line, one would type:
mvn site

The Maven 2 Prototype Project assumes that the developer is already familiar with Java and has a JDK installed on the machine which will be used to go through this tutorial. Since m2prototype is an Eclipse project, it is further assumed that Eclipse has been installed. We will be making use of the Maven 2.x Plug-in for Eclipse1. Finally, we will assume that you have downloaded and installed Maven 2. This project will attempt to point the developer to offsite locations in an effort to not duplicate the good stuff that has already been produced for Maven 2.
1 Don't be confused about the distinction between the Maven 2 Plug-in for Eclipse and the Maven 2 Eclipse Plugin!
