9. MuleSoft, Maven and Managing Dependencies
(Part 1: Basics)

10. 10
● Maven is a tool that can be used for building and managing any
Java-based project
What is Maven?

11. 11
● Make the build process easy
● Provide a uniform build system
● Provide quality project information
● Encourage better development practices
Maven’s Objectives

12. 12
● Yes
● No
Do we need to install Maven while working with
MuleSoft?

13. 13
Where is Maven in Anypoint Studio?

14. 14
● Download:
https://maven.apache.org/download.cgi
● Install:
https://maven.apache.org/install.html
Still want to install it locally?

15. 15
● It builds your application (along with necessary details) by following
the build lifecycle
What does Maven actually do?

16. 16
● Clean : Project Cleaning
● Site : Project Website
● Default : Project Deployment
Build Lifecycle

17. 17
● Cleans the project
● Removes all build artifacts from working directory
Clean Lifecycle

18. 18
● Creates the website for your project
Site Lifecycle

19. 19
● validate : validate the project is correct and all necessary
information is available
● compile : compile the source code of the project
Default Lifecycle Phases

20. 20
● test : test the compiled source code using a suitable unit
testing framework. These tests should not require
the code be packaged or deployed
● package : take the compiled code and package it in its
distributable format, such as a JAR
Default Lifecycle Phases

21. 21
● verify : run any checks on results of integration tests to
ensure quality criteria are met
● install : install the package into the local repository, for use
as a dependency in other projects locally
Default Lifecycle Phases

22. 22
● deploy : done in the build environment, copies the final
package to the remote repository for sharing with
other developers and projects.

26. 26
● POM
How is Maven achieving all this?

27. 27
● POM is a fundamental unit of work in Maven
● It is an XML file that contains information about the project and
configuration details used by Maven to build the project
Project Object Model

28. 28
● project – root
● modelVersion – should be set to 4.0.0
● groupId – the id of the project’s group
● artifactId – the id of the artifact (project)
● version – the version of the artifact under the specified group
Minimal POM

29. 29
<project>
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<groupId>com.mycompany.app</groupId>
<artifactId>my-app</artifactId>
<version>1</version>
</project>
Example of Minimal POM

30. 30
Mule Project POM

31. 31
● All models implicitly inherit from a super-POM

pom.html

● It contains maven build configuration that are not specific to a mule
application
● It has below advantages
○ Reduce redundancy
○ Minimize conflicting versions
○ Streamline dependency upgrade process
