Apache Maven

Apache Maven is a powerful software project management tool used primarily in Java development. It simplifies the process of building, managing, and documenting software projects by providing a structured way to define project dependencies, build processes, and versions. Think of it as a recipe book for developers: it outlines the ingredients (libraries and frameworks) needed for the project and the steps to put them together. This ensures consistency in builds, facilitates collaboration among developers, and makes it easier to share and manage projects over time.
