There are several steps to follow while implying project deployment in Maven. These steps include:
1. Go through all the projects and analyze the code that is working in the background in progress in the source code repository and identifies it.
2. In order to get the project development, one needs to download the whole source code from the Social Venture Network.
3. Constructor develop the application in the system
It needs to be saving as a War or Jar file system.
4. Get the specified file from the location path and move that specific file to create a site.
5. The application that is created in the system needs to be updated with the latest version with the date and version number.

1. Antlr Plugin – Generates parsers that you can use in your code from a very concise domain-specific language.
2. QueryDSL Plugin – Interrogates your database and creates data access objects that you can use to write SQL- like queries in your Java code.
3. Test Report Plugins – Make cool report websites that show you how well your unit tests are covering your code.
4. Shade Plugin – Allow you to bundle all of your classes into an uber-Jar that is runnable. This way you can deploy just one artifact. Also, can change packages of your dependencies to work around conflicts.

Maven architecture works in three steps, which are as follows:
1. The first step is to read the pom.xml file.
2. Then, it downloads the dependencies defined in pom.xml into the local repository from the central repository.
3. Lastly, it creates and generates a report according to the requirements, and executes life-cycles, phases, goals, plugins, etc.

With a configuration-based build, too, developers have to create the project structure and manually build processes specifying each configuration. In the Maven, style convention is followed where developers do not create build processes. In a convention-style, the developer needs to create a project, and Maven will create the structure based on the type of the project. Developers then will have to follow the convention created by Maven and plant files in the right locations. This eliminates the need to mention any configuration details within a pom file.

A forced update in Maven can be done with the following commands:
mvn clean install –U
-U is used for forcing a Maven update. However, the dependencies that are release based cannot be performed in this manner.

1. To refer a property that is defined in your pom.xml, the property name uses the names of the XML elements that define the value, with “pom†being allowed as an alias for the project element i.e root.
2. So ${pom.name} points to the name of the project, ${pom.version} refers to the project version, ${pom.build.finalName} refers to the final name of the file created during the built project packaging etc.

Maven dependency management uses the concept of Maven Repositories (Local, Central, Remote). Suppose dependency is not present in any of remote repositories and central repository then in such case Maven uses the concept of External Dependency.

Following is the search pattern –
1. Search for dependency in the local repository, if not found, move to step 2 else do the further processing.
2. Search for dependency in the central repository first, if not found and the remote repository is mentioned then move to step 4 else it is downloaded to the local repository for future reference.
3. If a remote repository has not been mentioned, Maven simply stops the processing and throws an error (Unable to find dependency).
4. Search for dependency in the remote repository first, if found it is downloaded to the local repository for future reference otherwise Maven is expected to stop processing and throws an error.

Maven snapshot is that version which is still unreleased. Prior to the first release is completed, there is a 1.0-SNAPSHOT version. In the future, this version will emerge to be 1.0 version. It is called as the present development copy. Maven looks for the new SNAPSHOT version in the remote repository.

The various scopes of Maven dependency include:
> Compile: This scope is required to build, test, and run the project and is available by default.
> Provided: This scope is needed to build and test the project and is available at runtime.
> Runtime: This scope is not required for compilation but needed for execution.
> Test: This scope is needed for compilation and running of the unit test cases.
> System: This scope cannot be taken from the remote repository and need to be placed in the local project path.
> Import: This scope is utilized when the dependencies are of pom type.

There are three types of Maven repositories.
They are:
1. Local Repository: This is placed in our local machine generally in the .m2 directory. This is generated once we are able to execute a Maven command successfully. All the project dependencies reside here. Once Maven scans the pom file, it first searches for its dependencies in the local repository.
2. Central Repository: This is supplied by Apache Maven. It contains most of the routinely used libraries. Once any of the dependencies are not found in the local repository, then Maven connects to a central repository.
3. Remote Repository: Sometimes companies develop their own custom repository comprising of their project artifacts, jars, and libraries. This is a type of repository that remains private for use inside that organization.

Build tools are primarily responsible for producing the source code (provided the auto-generated code is utilized). It creates project documentation from the source code.
It compiles and packages the code in the form of JAR/ZIP file. Finally, places that code in the local, central, or remote repository.

The phases of the Maven Build Life Cycle are as follows,
• validate - This validates the correctness of the project and ensures all the necessary information is available.
• compile - Used to compile the source code of the project
• test - Used to test the compiled source code with a unit testing framework. This does not require the code to be packaged.
• package - This is used to packaged the compiled code and package it into a distributable format such as a JAR.
• integration-test - Used to run integration test on the packaged file
• verify - run checks on the packaged file is valid and meets the required quality criteria
• install - install the package into the local repository to be used as a dependency in other projects locally
• deploy - used in release environments to deploy copies of the final package to the remote repository for sharing with other projects and developers.

As the name suggests, the Maven repository may be defined as a container of all the JAR files and Maven files and associated plug-ins. In fact, concerned artifacts are also stored in the Maven repository for suitable applications. There are three types of Maven repository: local repository, central repository and remote repository. Each type stores the relevant project files which are used accordingly by Maven.

With a configuration-based build, too, developers have to create the project structure and manually build processes specifying each configuration. In the Maven, style convention is followed where developers do not create build processes. In a convention-style, the developer needs to create a project, and Maven will create the structure based on the type of the project. Developers then will have to follow the convention created by Maven and plant files in the right locations. This eliminates the need to mention any configuration details within a pom file.

Following are the phases of Maven build lifecycle −
validate − validate the project and check if everything is correct and all necessary information is available.
compile − this phase compiles the source code of your project.
test − tests the compiled source code by using a suitable unit testing framework. These tests should not require the code to be packaged or deployed
package − takes the compiled code and packages it in its distributable format.
integration-test − processes and deploys the package if possible into an environment where integration tests can be run.
verify − runs any checks to verify the package is valid and meets the required quality criteria.
install − installation of the package into the local repository. This is done to use it as a dependency in other projects locally.
deploy − done in an integration environment or release environment. Here the final package is copied to the remote repository for sharing with other developers and projects.

A Build Lifecycle can be defined as a well-defined sequence of phases. It clearly defines the order in which the goals are to be executed. Each build phase contains a sequence of goals. If one life cycle is executed, all build phases in that life cycle are executed. If a build phase is executed, all build phases before it in the pre-defined sequence of build phases are executed.

Project Object Model (POM) refers to the XML files with all the information regarding project and configuration details.
<> It has the description of the project, information regarding the versioning and configuration management of the project.
<> The XML file is in the project home directory. When we tend to execute a task, Maven searches for the POM in the current directory.

1. Maven uses Convention whereas ant uses Configuration. In Maven, convention means a standard layout suggested by Maven. If you want a skeleton project of a sample Java application, so Maven is going to give you one set of folders and configurations for those Java applications whereas in the case of Ant you need to have lots of configurations.
2. Maven supports project modularization.
3. Maven also supports dependency management and migration.

It helps to set up projects very quickly and it avoids complicated build files like build.xml. Maven required files like; it serves the purpose for Maven only.
POM.xml
is a collection of dependencies of your Java Project which one can specify to Maven and then Maven will download all of them from the internet and then store it to some repository i.e. local repository, central repository, and remote repository.
It helps to not bundle all the jars in your package i.e. in your War file or Ear file because all of them are going store in the repository and wherever you install this application that repository will be used for any dependencies lookup. So, your Jar file, War file or Ear file, or your bundle deployment will be very light.
