Getting to grips with Maven - in five minutes ...

As part of my investigation into SonarQube, as per: -

Tinkering with SonarQube for code-scanning shell scripts ... 

I wanted to validate SQ's ability to scan Java projects.

SQ "assumes" that you're either using Maven or Gradle: -


so I thought I'd play with Maven, having used it for other Java work recently.

Thankfully, the Apache Maven project has a really useful tutorial on their site: -

Maven in 5 Minutes

which I followed, both on a Linux virtual server and on my Mac.

Here's a whiz-through the tutorial on my Mac ( with a bit of editorialising on my part ) : -

Validate Maven version

mvn --version

Apache Maven 3.6.3 (cecedd343002696d0abb50b32b541b8a6ba2883f)

Java version: 1.8.0_251, vendor: Oracle Corporation, runtime: /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_251.jdk/Contents/Home/jre

Default locale: en_GB, platform encoding: UTF-8

OS name: "mac os x", version: "10.15.7", arch: "x86_64", family: "mac"

Run the App

java -cp target/daves-app-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar com.dave.app.App

Hello World!

Change the App

vi ./src/main/java/com/dave/app/App.java

package com.dave.app;

/**
 * Hello world!
 *
 */
public class App
{
    public static void main( String[] args )
    {
        System.out.println( "Hello World!, you rule :-)" );
    }
}

Rebuild the App

Visual Studio Code - Wow 🙀

Why did I not know that I can merely hit [cmd] [p]  to bring up a search box allowing me to search my project e.g. a repo cloned from GitHub...
