Apache Maven Cookbook

Chapter 2. IDE Integration with Maven

In this chapter, we will see how to set up and use Maven with three popular Java Integrated Development Environments (IDE). We will cover the following recipes:

  • Creating a new Maven project in Eclipse
  • Importing an existing Maven project in Eclipse
  • Creating a new Maven project in NetBeans
  • Importing an existing Maven project in NetBeans
  • Creating a new Maven project in IntelliJ IDEA
  • Importing an existing Maven project in IntelliJ IDEA

Introduction

IDE improves developer productivity by performing the following functions:

  • Creating boilerplate code
  • Carrying out code completion
  • Identifying syntax issues
  • Performing tasks such as compilation, unit testing, and deploying to web/app servers

While Maven is primarily intended to be a command-line tool, IDEs help developers enjoy as well as exploit Maven features in better ways. The integration of Maven with IDE helps us to automatically download dependencies and quickly search for dependencies through the UI, among other benefits.

The IDE integration of Maven has improved over the years and most Maven features can be set through IDE now.

Creating a new Maven project in Eclipse

Eclipse is one of the most popular open source IDEs. It originated primarily from IBM's VisualAge for Java. It is a platform that allows extensibility by means of plugins (something that Maven does as well). Eclipse can be used to develop not only Java projects, but also a host of other languages by means of plugins.

As of writing this book, Eclipse 4.4.1 (Luna SR1) is the most recent edition. The screenshots in this book are for this version.

Getting ready

Eclipse needs a Java environment to run and hence needs Java to be installed on the system. To do this, refer to the Getting ready sections of the first three recipes of Chapter 1, Getting Started.

Download Eclipse from https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/. Eclipse binaries are available for all popular operating systems. There are also different package solutions of Eclipse targeted at different types of developers (C/C++, Java EE, PHP, and so on). You should choose one of the Eclipse IDEs for...

Importing an existing Maven project in Eclipse

If you have already set up a Maven project from the command-line, then it can easily be imported to Eclipse.

If you have not yet set up Eclipse and verified that Maven exists, please follow the Getting ready section of the preceding recipe.

How to do it...

To import an existing Maven project in Eclipse, perform the following steps:

  1. Navigate to File | Import… and click on Maven:
    How to do it...
  2. Choose the project we created in the previous chapter:
    How to do it...
  3. Import the project. You will see contents identical to what we saw when creating a new Maven project.

How it works...

Eclipse has built-in support for Maven projects. When a Maven project is imported, it parses the pom file, pom.xml, for the specified project. Based on the project's pom configuration file, it creates relevant Eclipse configurations to recognize source files, tests, and artifacts.

It also identifies all the dependencies of the project, downloads these using Maven (if they haven't been downloaded...

Creating a new Maven project in NetBeans

NetBeans is another popular IDE. This is backed by Oracle, is equally feature-rich and extensible, and supports multiple languages, such as Eclipse.

As of writing this, NetBeans 8.0.2 is the most recent edition. The screenshots in this book reflect this version.

Getting ready

NetBeans can be downloaded in two different ways (if not downloaded already):

  • Oracle provides a download of the latest JDK along with the latest version of NetBeans. This is a good option, especially if you have not installed JDK yet.
  • If JDK is already installed, then NetBeans can be downloaded separately from https://netbeans.org/. There are different bundles of NetBeans (similar to Eclipse). You can choose one from Java SE or Java EE, or all of them, based on your preference.

How to do it...

Now that NetBeans is installed, let us create a new Maven project, by performing the following steps:

  1. Navigate to Tools | Options. Choose Java and click on the Maven tab. You will notice Maven...

Importing an existing Maven project in NetBeans

Instead of creating a new Maven project, as we did in the preceding recipe, you may want to open an existing Maven project in NetBeans. Let us now see how we can import an existing Maven project.

Getting ready

NetBeans can be downloaded in two different ways (if not downloaded already):

  • Oracle provides a download of the latest JDK along with the latest version of NetBeans. This is a good option, especially if you haven't installed JDK yet.
  • If JDK is already installed, then NetBeans can be downloaded separately at https://netbeans.org/. There are different bundles of NetBeans (similar to Eclipse). You can choose one from Java SE or Java EE, or all of them, based on your preference.

How to do it...

To import an existing Maven project in NetBeans, perform the following steps:

  1. Navigate to File | Open Project...:
    How to do it...
  2. Choose the project we created earlier from the command-line. Notice how NetBeans recognizes it (with the ma icon) as a Maven project:
    How to do it...
  3. NetBeans...

Creating a new Maven project in IntelliJ IDEA

IntelliJ IDEA is an IDE from JetBrains. It has both Community and commercial editions. IntelliJ IDEA is enormously popular among developers and is regularly updated with the latest language and platform features.

For the purpose of this cookbook, we will use the Community Edition. The steps are the same for the commercial edition as well.

As of writing this book, IntelliJ IDEA 14.0.3 is the most recent edition. The screenshots in this book reflect this version.

Getting ready

As IntelliJ IDEA needs a Java environment to run, let us first ensure that the Java environment is set up on our system:

  1. Ensure that JDK is installed.
  2. Download IntelliJ IDEA by visiting https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/ and clicking on the Download link.
  3. Ensure the project SDK is set to your Java installation.

How to do it...

Use the following steps to create a new Maven project in IntelliJ IDEA:

  1. Open IntelliJ IDEA.
  2. Click on Create New Project.
  3. Choose Maven.
  4. Select the Create from archetype...

Great book for those new or experienced to Maven. I wish I had a book like this 5 years ago when I started using Maven. Although I did skim though most of the beginning I did get a lot of good example of best practices and plugin implementations. I highly recommend the book to anybody from developers to configuration management, and would go so far to call the Maven Bible for all practitioners.

When I got the opportunity to review this book, I thought the book would mostly be focused for beginners. Surprised the book has in it for everyone unlike the books released in market earlier. It begins at the very start, with the basics including installation screenshots, explains the concepts of everything you learn. It has got various scenarios of usage, and includes the code in the book. The book provides with best examples and explains how the object oriented approach of maven is used for re usability and flexibility.The book explains about the implementation of different plugins for java code with code and examples viz FindBugs(static analysis tool to bug tracking),PMD(source code analyzer),CheckStyle(Coding standard),Cobertura(Code Coverage),Sonar(Code Quality). All the examples are thoroughly tested and they work the way described in the book.Best of luck !! Go on buy it now :)

This book covers all aspects of development using Maven on major OS platforms and IDEs. In great details explains how to start using Maven in any Enterprise environment, including Enterprise networks with the proxy servers. I believe this is great book for beginners’ as well as senior developers.

This book is a good start, but for me, it left several unanswered questions. The strengths are chapter 3 (Maven Lifecycle), chapter 4 (Essential Maven Plugins) and chapter 5 (Dependency Management). After that, several chapters were devoted to broad-brush descriptions of many Maven Plugins. These chapters weren't really useful. They took space, but didn't provide enough detail. This could have been compressed into a single chapter along the lines of "Maven Plugins you might want to understand/use".The book lacks coverage of profiles and how you pull code from one repo to a push to a local repo (which I believe is vital information that most people will want to cover).

Average book in my opinion. Too many topics brought up without a good explanation. Not sure how this bookreceived 5 stars overall. I must have missed something.

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
