Tags defined• A universally unique identifier for a project. It is

normal to use a fully-qualified package name to distinguish it from other projects with a similar name (eg. org.apache.maven, com.project)

The identifier for this artifact that is unique within the group given by the group ID. An artifact is something that is either produced or used by a project. Examples of artifacts produced by Maven for a project include: JARs, source and binary distributions, and WARs.

E.g: android, mockito-all, junit

The central repository

Online central repository which hosts all the dependencies

Can search from group-id, artifact-id, version

Can also download jars, pom, etc

How to use? POM (pom.xml) file is the main file all the xml

data in it.

Dependent projects (if any) should also have pom

There are 3 major parts: Add dependencies

</groupId>

<artifactId>android-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>3.8.0</version>

<configuration>

<sdk> <platform>8</platform></sdk>

</configuration>

</plugin> </plugins>

</build>

How to add dependencies

<dependencies>

<dependency>

<groupId>junit</groupId>

<artifactId>junit</artifactId>

<version>4.10</version>

<scope>test</scope>

</dependency>

</dependencies>

Local .jar file mvn install:install-file

-DgroupId=com.personagraph

-DartifactId=richinsights

-Dversion=1.4

-Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=libs/AndroidSDK-1.4-SNAPSHOT.jar

cmd mvn clean

mvn test

mvn compile
