A must learn technology for Java Programmers!
This course is about Apache Ant and Maven
Apache Ant
Ant is a library that helps you automate the build process of a project.
Using Ant, you can have good control over your project to minute detail. We can accomplish it, by creating tasks.
Ant offers a great deal of builtin tasks, that will help you automate literally any typical project tasks like, compiling the source code, copying the files to server, packaging the project as an archive, etc.
Apache Maven
Apache Maven, is a great project management tool that will not only help in automating the project build process, but also a host of other things like, dependency management, versioning, etc.
We can keep enhancing the capabilities of Maven by incorporating additional plugins or even write our own custom plugins.
