The first OrlandoJUG meeting of 2010 focuses on Maven.


"Apache 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."

Brian Fox is the Vice President of Engineering at Sonatype, a member of the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) and Chair of the Apache Maven project. He has over 10 years of experience building high availability software in the Telecommunications and Public Health surveillance industries. Brian has been involved with the Maven project for the last 5 years and has created several popular plugins, including the maven-dependency-plugin and maven-enforcer-plugin.


Next Generation Development Infrastructure: Maven, M2Eclipse, Nexus & Hudson

All development organizations eventually converge on a set of tools to reduce costs, lower onboarding time, and leverage knowledge in strong communities to create standard processes. To this end we see in many organizations the emergence of a standard development stack consisting of Maven, M2Eclipse, Nexus & Hudson. In this talk, Brian Fox, PMC Chair of the Apache Maven project, will discuss the future of Maven and specifically Maven 3.x, the rapidly approaching M2Eclipse 1.0 release, the upcoming Nexus 1.5 release, and changes that have been made to Hudson to provide better interoperability with Maven. Sonatype itself leverages this stack on a daily basis and this discussion will focus not only on the tools individually, but how they can work together to create a best practices approach to building and delivering your software in your organization.



We have capacity for 40 people this month.
