Step by Step Guide to Setup Apache Maven

1. Download Apache Maven

URL: https://maven.apache.org/download.cgi
or
https://maven.apache.org/ click Download link

• Downloaded Maven version -> apache-maven-3.6.1 (This is as per my wish, you can always download the latest)
• Placed the folder -> C:\apache-maven-3.6.1

2. Set Environment Variable and Path in Windows Machine

Control Panel -> All Control Panel Items -> System 

Advanced System Settings -> Environment Variables 

System Variables -> Path -> Edit -> C:\apache-maven-3.6.1\bin

3. Check Maven version using Command Prompt

Command:

mvn --version

Example:

C:\Users\Manokaran\Documents\projects\first-maven-project>mvn --version

Apache Maven 3.6.1 (d66c9c0b3152b2e69ee9bac180bb8fcc8e6af555; 2019-04-05T00:30:29+05:30)

Maven home: C:\apache-maven-3.6.1\bin\..

Java version: 1.8.0_201, vendor: Oracle Corporation, runtime: C:\java8.201\JDK\jre

Default locale: en_IN, platform encoding: Cp1252

OS name: "windows 10", version: "10.0", arch: "amd64", family: "windows"

4. Create Maven Project Folder:

Open folder i.e, C:\Users\YOUR_NAME\Documents\

• C:\Users\Manokaran\Documents\
• Create new folder i.e, first-maven-projectwork

5. Generate Maven Archetype

Open folder i.e, C:\Users\Manokaran\Documents\first-maven-projectwork using Command Prompt

Command:

mvn archetype:generate

C:\Users\Manokaran\Documents\first-maven-projectwork>mvn archetype:generate

Choose a number: 8: 8

6. Fillup Information about your Maven Project:

Define value for property 'groupId': com.sampleproject
Define value for property 'artifactId': trial-maven-project
Define value for property 'version' 1.0-SNAPSHOT: : 1.0-SNAPSHOT
Define value for property 'package' com.sampleproject: : com.sampleproject.demo

Confirm properties configuration:
groupId: com.sampleproject
artifactId: trial-maven-project
version: 1.0-SNAPSHOT
package: com.sampleproject.demo
 Y: : Y

7. Check latest changes in your Maven Project Folder

Open folder i.e, C:\Users\Manokaran\Documents\first-maven-projectwork

you can see a new folder i.e, trial-maven-project (this we gave as 'artifactId')

once you open the folder path -> C:\Users\Manokaran\Documents\first-maven-projectwork\trial-maven-project.  You can notice pom.xml (Project Object Model XML file) and src folder.

8. Compile Maven Project

C:\Users\Manokaran\Documents\first-maven-projectwork>cd trial-maven-project

C:\Users\Manokaran\Documents\first-maven-projectwork\trial-maven-project>mvn compile
