Hands On: Apache Maven 4

Thu, 24 April

Struggling with Apache Maven? Confused about version management in multi-module projects? Concerned about exposing too much metadata when publishing artifacts? Apache Maven 4 is here to solve these issues, and this session will help you master its new capabilities.

Instead of just slides, we’ll live-code real-world use cases that commonly trip up developers when managing Maven builds and deployments—especially in multi-module projects.

Apache Maven 4 is a great improvement over previous versions and provides an ease-of-use and follows the "principle of least astonishment". Whether you're a seasoned Maven user or just starting out, this session will empower you to navigate Maven builds with confidence and eliminate the frustration of complex dependency management.
