Maven is essentially a project management and comprehension tool and as such provides a way to help with managing:

• Builds

Maven Setup with Linux

Maven can be set up on Linux in a few easy steps. Installing JDK is the first step because Maven requires it to function. We will learn how to install Maven in Ubuntu in this guide. The procedures are universal, therefore they will be successful on any other Linux machine.

Install JDK on Linux/Ubuntu

Typically, we install everything in Ubuntu using the apt package manager. However, it is missing the most recent JDK packages. Although OpenJDK versions 8 and 11 are the only ones that are currently available, Java 13 is currently in use. Therefore, we will set up the necessary environment variables and install JDK using binaries.

Step 1: Download the JDK Binaries

Go to the URL: https://jdk.java.net/13/ 

Copy the download link for Linux/x64 build. 

Then use the below command to download and extract it.

$ wget https://download.java.net/java/GA/jdk13.0.1/cec27d702aa74d5a8630c65ae61e4305/9/ GPL/openjdk-13.0.1_linux-x64_bin.tar.gz $ tar -xvf openjdk-13.0.1_linux-x64_bin.tar.gz $ mv jdk-13.0.1 /opt/

I have moved JDK to /opt, you can keep it anywhere in the file system.

Step 2: Setting JAVA_HOME and Path Environment Variables

Open .profile file from the home directory and add the following lines to it.

JAVA_HOME='/opt/jdk-13.0.1' PATH="$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH" export PATH

You can relaunch the terminal or execute source .profile command to apply the configuration changes.

TIPS: If you don’t find the .profile then create a new file with the name as .profile

Step 3: Verify Java Installation

You can run a java -version command to verify the JDK installation.

$ java -version openjdk version "13.0.1" 2019-10-15 OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 13.0.1+9) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 13.0.1+9, mixed mode, sharing) $

Installing Maven on Linux/Ubuntu

We will install Maven in a similar way that we have installed JDK in the Linux system.

Step 1: Download the Maven Binaries

Go to the URL: https://maven.apache.org/download.cgi

Copy the link for the “Binary tar.gz archive” file.

Then run the following commands to download and untar it.

$ wget https://mirrors.estointernet.in/apache/maven/maven-3/3.6.3/binaries/apache-maven-3.6.3-bin.tar.gz $ tar -xvf apache-maven-3.6.3-bin.tar.gz $ mv apache-maven-3.6.3 /opt/

Step 2: Setting M2_HOME and Path Variables

Add the following lines to the user profile file (.profile).

M2_HOME='/opt/apache-maven-3.6.3' PATH="$M2_HOME/bin:$PATH" export PATH

Relaunch the terminal or execute source .profile to apply the changes.

Step 3: Verify the Maven installation

Execute mvn -version command and it should produce the following output.

$ mvn -version Apache Maven 3.6.3 (cecedd343002696d0abb50b32b541b8a6ba2883f) Maven home: /opt/apache-maven-3.6.3 Java version: 13.0.1, vendor: Oracle Corporation, runtime: /opt/jdk-13.0.1 Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: UTF-8 OS name: "linux", version: "5.4.225-139.416.amzn2int.x86_64", arch: "amd64", family: "unix"

$

That’s all. Maven is successfully installed in your Linux system.

MAVEN:

At first glance Maven can appear to be many things, but in a nutshell Maven is an attempt to apply patterns to a project's build infrastructure in order to promote comprehension and productivity by providing a clear path in the use of best practices. Maven is essentially a project management and comprehension tool and as such provides a way to help with managing:

1. How does Maven manage dependencies and transitive dependencies? Ans: Maven manages dependencies and transitive dependencies through the use of a Project Object Model (POM) file. This file contains information about the project, including a list of dependencies and their versions. When a project depends on another project, Maven will automatically include that project's dependencies (transitive dependencies) in the final build, eliminating the need for manual management of these dependencies. Maven uses a repository to store these dependencies, and it will automatically download them from the repository when they are needed. Additionally, Maven uses a dependency hierarchy to resolve conflicts between different versions of the same dependency, using the "nearest definition" strategy.

3. What is a SNAPSHOT version?

     Ans: 

Notice the value of the version tag in the pom.xml file shown below has the suffix: -SNAPSHOT.

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
  ...
  <groupId>...</groupId>
  <artifactId>my-app</artifactId>
  ...
  <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
  <name>Maven Quick Start Archetype</name>
  ...

The SNAPSHOT value refers to the 'latest' code along with a development branch, and provides no guarantee the code is stable or unchanged. Conversely, the code in a 'release' version (any version value without the suffix SNAPSHOT) is unchanging.

In other words, a SNAPSHOT version is the 'development' version before the final 'release' version. The SNAPSHOT is "older" than its release.

During the release process, a version of x.y-SNAPSHOT changes to x.y. 

The release process also increments the development version to x.(y+1)-SNAPSHOT. For example, version 1.0-SNAPSHOT is released as version 1.0, and the new development version is version 1.1-SNAPSHOT.

3.What is the purpose of mvn clean command?

     Ans:    This command removes the target directory before the starting of a build process.

4. How to integrate Maven pom.xml with Jenkins job?

 Click Here For Steps with Screenshot

5. List out the dependency scope in Maven?

      The various dependency scopes used in Maven are:

        • Compile: It is the default scope, and it indicates what dependency is available in the classpath of the project
       • Provided: It indicates that the dependency is provided by JDK or web server or container at runtime
       • Runtime: This says that the dependency is not needed for compilation but is required during   execution
       • Test: It says dependency is available only for the test compilation and execution phases
       • System: It indicates you have to provide the system path
       • Import: This indicates that the identified or specified POM should be replaced with the dependencies in that POM’s section

6.  In Maven, what are the two settings files called and what are their locations?

In Maven, the settings files are called settings.xml, and the two settings files are located at

• Maven installation directory: $M2_Home/conf/settings.xml
• User’s home directory: ${ user.home }/ .m2 / settings.xml

7. Maven dependencies with pom.xml for Automation Framework design? How to add selenium, testng,cucumber dependency in Maven?

Click Here For POM.xml

This has the entire list dependencies required to design a Selenium Automation Framework from scratch.

8. Dependency vs plugin

Both plugins and dependencies are Jar files.

But the difference between them is, most of the work in maven is done using plugins; whereas dependency is just a Jar file which will be added to the classpath while executing the tasks.

So, we can say, plugin is a Jar file which executes the task, and dependency is a Jar which provides the class files to execute the task.

9. Group id vs artifact id

         groupId will identify your project uniquely across all projects, so we need to enforce a naming schema. You have to follow the package name rules, which means that it has to be at least as a domain name you control, and you can create as many subgroups as you want.
eg. org.apache.maven, org.apache.commons

         artifactId is the name of the jar without version. If you created it then you can choose whatever name you want with lowercase letters and no strange symbols. If it's a third party jar you have to take the name of the jar as it's distributed.
eg. maven, commons-math

10. What is the default location for your local repository?
        

Answer: ~ / M2 / repository.

11. Maven plugins?

         1. surefire plugin
         2. compiler plugin
         3. resource plugin

12. What is the default scope that the maven uses if we do not specify the scope element in pom.xml?

Answer: Compile

How do I create documentation?

To get you jump started with Maven's documentation system you can use the archetype mechanism to generate a site for your existing project using the following command:

mvn archetype:generate \
  -DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.maven.archetypes \
  -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-site \
  -DgroupId=com.mycompany.app \
  -DartifactId=my-app-site

13. What scope can be used to make certain dependencies available only while compiling and running tests?
         

Answer: Test

14. What is archetype?

Answer: We will use maven archetype to generate the maven folder structure based on the   inputs.
        
Ex: mvn archetype:generate.
