Agenda

6. What is Maven?

7. 7
- Maven is a popular build automation and project management tool used primarily in Java-based
projects.
- Provides a framework for managing software builds, dependencies, and project configurations.
- Maven helps simplify the software development process by automating tasks such as compiling
source code, managing libraries and dependencies, running tests, packaging applications, and
generating project documentation.
Maven uses a project object model, defined in an XML file called “pom.xml”, to configure and
manage project settings.
Maven

8. The POM

9. 9
- Project Object Model File
- Contains important informations related to the project.
- Packaging type
- dependencies and their repository where they reside
- Build configurations and plugin management
- pom.xml implicitly inherits Super POM
The POM

10. Maven as Dependency
Management

11. 11
- Everything in Maven use coordinates
groupId + artifactId + version
Maven Coordinates

12. 12
- Manages all dependencies and transitive dependencies
- Maven has a workflow to download dependencies.
Dependency Management

13. Maven as Build Management

14. 14
- Maven is responsible for building the project and providing the deployable
archive (JAR file).
- Maven uses three lifecycle phases in their build management. (the build
lifecycles)
- default, site, clean
- the default lifecycle consists of the phases
- validate, initialize, compile, test, package, verify, install, deploy
- A lifecycle is made up of cascading ordered phases, with each phase
executing all the proceeding phases leading up to it.
Build Management

15. Mule Maven Plugin

16. 16
- Mule Maven Plugin is built by Mulesoft to bind mule specific functionality to
maven phases.
- For example:
- mvn package will produce a jar file.
- mvn deploy will do a “mvn package” i.e to produce a jar file and deploy that jar to configured
environments like CH, RTF, Standalone etc.,

Mule Maven Plugin

17. Using Settings.xml

18. 18
Settings.xml File
- The settings element in the settings.xml file contains elements used to define
values which configure Maven execution in various ways.
- The repositories for download and deployment are defined by the repositories
and distributionManagement elements of the POM. However, certain settings
such as username and password should not be distributed along with the
pom.xml. This type of information should exist on the build server in the
settings.xml.

19. Deploy application to Cloudhub using
Mule Maven Plugin

20. Cloudhub deployment
- You could deploy mule
applications to Cloudhub
via maven by adding
configuration inside
mule-maven-plugin.
> mvn -DmuleDeploy deploy

21. Deploy assets to exchange using
Mule Maven Plugin &
Exchange Mule Maven Plugin

22. Exchange Mule Maven Plugin
- With the Anypoint Exchange Maven Facade
API, Apache Maven clients can publish and
consume Exchange assets, including these
asset types:
- Connectors
- Mule applications
- Examples
- Templates
- Policies
- Custom assets
