Apache Maven

Apache Maven is an open-source build automation and project management tool primarily used for Java projects.

It simplifies the process of building, testing, and deploying software by managing dependencies, compiling source code, running tests, and generating documentation. Maven uses an XML-based configuration file (pom.xml) to define project structure, dependencies, and build lifecycle, making it easy to automate repetitive tasks and ensure consistency across environments.

It integrates seamlessly with testing frameworks like JUnit and TestNG, enabling automated testing as part of the build process. Maven is widely used in software development for managing complex projects with multiple dependencies and ensuring smooth integration in CI/CD pipelines.
