Learning Objectives

This week we a commonly used Java Build tool, that is typically used in many follow-on courses within this Computer Science area.

Students will be able to

1. Understand the need for Java Build Tools
2. Understand what Maven is used for, how to install and configure it, and build a simple runnable JAR file
3. Incorporate the Maven plugin into Eclipse, and build a simple runnable JAR file
