Maven Tutorial for DevOps | Maven Beginner Tutorial
📚 Maven for DevOps & SRE
In this session we look at Maven from a DevOps and SRE point of view, not just as a Java build tool. We start with compiled vs interpreted languages, then move into what build tools solve, and why Maven is so widely used in JVM based ecosystems. We install Java and Maven on Ubuntu, create a Maven project from an archetype, and deeply understand pom.xml, lifecycles, phases, plugins, goals, scopes, and repositories. We also talk about Super POM, Parent POM, local vs remote repos, Nexus/Artifactory patterns, and finally build with Maven in Jenkins and run the app as a Docker container.
