+Maven
+A beginner's guide
+
+https://maven.apache.org
+"Apache Maven is a software project management
+and comprehension tool"
+
+Based on a "project object model (POM)"
+that allows Maven to build the project as configured
+
+Through its configuration, you can tell Maven:
+- What your project dependencies are
+- How to compile your project
+- How to package your project
+- How to run your unit tests
+- How to... whatever, really
+
+Maven is architected around plugins.
+Its functionnalities can be extended by writing new plugins.
+Though, most likely a plugin already exists for your needs.
+
+Maven is launched through the command line
+with its command and a target "phase".
+$ mvn deploy
+
+When Maven runs, it follows a "lifecycle".
+A lifecycle is made of "phases".
+Maven will run all the phases up to the
+one you specified on the command line.
+
+Default lifecycle
+- validate
+- compile
+- test
+- package
+- verify
+- install
+- deploy
+
+Each build phase is made up of plugin goals.
+You configure which plugins run at each phase
+through Maven's config file "pom.xml".
+
+The POM file should be in the directory from
+which you invoke Maven.
+
+The POM file specifies:
+- The project's dependencies
+- The plugins to use for the build
+
+The dependencies and the plugins are called
+artifacts.
+They're identified by a group, a name, and
+a version.
+
+<plugin>
+    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
+    <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
+    <version>3.14.0</version>
+</plugin>
+
+Maven downloads artifacts from a "repository".
+There are 2 types of repositories.
+
+Local repository
+A directory on your computer.
+Maven caches remote downloads
+in the local repository
+
+Remote repository
+Any other repository is a remote repository.
+It can be a directory, an HTTP server, ...
+
+By default, Maven uses the following remote repository
+https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/
+
+Through the POM file, you can configure one
+or several repositories to use.
+
+You can instruct Maven to "deploy" your locally built 
+artifact to a repository, so that other users can
+instruct Maven to depend on it for their build.
