Maven: The Definitive Guide

While there are a number of references for Maven online, there is no single, well-written book that can serve as both a well-worn reference and an introduction. What we've tried to do with this effort is provide both a comprehensive reference and a narrative introduction to Maven. Published by O'Reilly, Maven: The Definitive Guide is written for both new and season Maven users. For update to date information, and for more about Sonatype products: Read the Sonatype Blogs.
