Meeting....: Silicon Valley Java Users Group (SVJUG)
Time.......: June 17th,2008 (THIRD TUESDAY of each month)
Cost.......: Always FREE to all!
Topic......: Apache Maven, Nexus, and m2eclipse
Speaker....: Jason Van Zyl

Description:
Comprehensive Project Intelligence - Apache Maven, Nexus, and m2eclipse.

Many view Apache Maven in the context of other build tools such as Apache Ant
and Apache Ivy, yet Maven's functionalities extend far beyond the efficient,
enterprise-class project build. When coupled with supporting tools like Nexus
and m2eclipse, Maven starts to accelerate development by reducing the level of
work required to support build management and cross-department collaboration.

In this talk, Jason van Zyl, founder of Sonatype and creator of Maven's Central
Repository, will present a constellation of open-source software which can be
used to extend Maven's capabilities, from next-generation Eclipse support provided
by m2eclipse to the Nexus Repository manager and continuous integration servers
which offer Maven support. Jason will also introduce some of the more unexpected
uses of Maven to support development with Flex and to support the publishing industry.
