Maven by Example

As developers, we understand that you don't want to spend years reading documentation about your build tool. We get it. You just want to get to work. On the other hand, if you don't take a little bit of time to understand what Maven can do and what it was designed for, there's a good possibility you'll be needlessly(不必要地；无用地) reinventing wheels. Take an hour or two and walk through Table of Contents, it's a gentle introduction to Maven and we promise it will save you time. Sonatype maintains two books focused on Maven: an example-driven introduction to Maven, "Maven by Example" and Maven: The Complete Reference. If you already understand how to use Maven and are just looking for a reference, go read the other book.
