Maven is a software project management and comprehension tool. Based on the concept of a project object model (POM), Maven can manage a project's build, reporting and documentation from a central piece of information. </p> <p> If you think that Maven could help your project, you can find out more information in the "About Maven" section of the navigation. This includes an in-depth description of <a href="what-is-maven.html">what Maven is</a> and a <a href="maven-features.html">list of some of its main features</a>. </p> <p> This site is separated into the following sections, depending on how you'd like to use Maven: </p> <table class="table table-striped"> <tr class="a"> <th style="white-space:nowrap; font-weight: bold; font-size: 1.75em" rowspan="2">Use</th> <th style="white-space:nowrap; font-weight: bold; font-size: 1.25em"> <a href="download.html">Download</a>, <a href="install.html">Install</a>, <a href="configure.html">Configure</a>, <a href="run.html">Run</a> Maven </th> <th style="white-space:nowrap; font-weight: bold; font-size: 1.25em"> <a href="plugins/index.html">Maven Plugins</a> and <a href="extensions/index.html">Maven Extensions</a> </th> </tr> <tr class="b"> <td>Information for those needing to build a project that uses Maven</td> <td> Lists of plugins and extensions to help with your builds. </td> </tr> <tr class="a"> <th style="white-space:nowrap; font-weight: bold; font-size: 1.75em" rowspan="2">Extend</th> <th style="white-space:nowrap; font-weight: bold; font-size: 1.25em"><a href="plugin-developers/index.html">Write Maven Plugins</a></th> <th style="white-space:nowrap; font-weight: bold; font-size: 1.25em"><a href="repository/index.html">Improve the Maven Central Repository</a></th> </tr> <tr class="b"> <td> Information for developers writing Maven plugins. </td> <td> Information for those who may or may not use Maven, but are interested in getting project metadata into the <a href="repository/index.html">central repository</a>. </td> </tr> <tr class="a"> <th style="white-space:nowrap; font-weight: bold; font-size: 1.75em" rowspan="2">Contribute</th> <th style="white-space:nowrap; font-weight: bold; font-size: 1.25em"><a href="guides/development/guide-helping.html">Help Maven</a></th> <th style="white-space:nowrap; font-weight: bold; font-size: 1.25em"><a href="developers/index.html">Develop Maven</a></th> </tr> <tr class="b"> <td> Information if you'd like to get involved.

If you are looking for a quick reference, you can use the <a href="guides/index.html">documentation index</a>. </p> <section><section><a id="How_to_Get_Support"></a> <h3>How to Get Support</h3> <p> Support for Maven is available in a variety of different forms. </p> <p> To get started, search the documentation, <a href="issue-management.html">issue management system</a>, the <a href="https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MAVEN" class="externalLink">wiki</a> or the <a href="mailing-lists.html">mailing list archives</a> to see if the problem has been solved or reported before. </p> <p> If the problem has not been reported before, the recommended way to get help is to subscribe to the <a href="mailing-lists.html">Maven Users Mailing list</a>. Many other users and Maven developers will answer your questions there, and the answer will be archived for others in the future. </p> <p> You can also reach the Maven developers on <a href="community.html">Slack</a>. </p> </section><section><a id="Apache_Software_Foundation"></a> <h3>Apache Software Foundation</h3> <p> Maven is a part of the Apache Software Foundation. We'd like to <a href="https://www.apache.org/foundation/thanks.html" class="externalLink">thank the sponsors</a> that provide financial assistance to the foundation. For more information on how you can support the foundation, see the <a href="https://www.apache.org/foundation/sponsorship.html" class="externalLink">sponsorship</a> page. </p> <p> <a href="https://www.apache.org/events/current-event.html" class="externalLink"> <img src="https://www.apache.org/events/current-event-234x60.png" alt="Apache Events" style="float: left" /> </a> You can also attend <a href="https://www.apache.org/events/current-event.html" class="externalLink">Apache Events</a>. Don't hesitate to ask on the <a href="mailing-lists.html">Maven User mailing list</a> if Maven team members will be there. It can be a great opportunity to meet them. </p> </section></section></section> </main> </div> </div> <hr/> <footer> <div class="container-fluid"> <div class="row-fluid"> <p>© 2002–2024 <a href="https://www.apache.org/">The Apache Software Foundation</a> </p> </div> </div> </footer> </body> </html>
