Maven is a high-level, intelligent project management, build and deployment tool provided by Apache?s software foundation group. Maven deals with application development lifecycle management. Maven was originally developed to manage and to minimize the complexities of building the Jakarta Turbine project.

Maven has become the de- facto build system in many open source initiatives and it is rapidly being adopted by many software development organizations.
