  = What is Maven2? =
  
- ...
+ Maven2 is an exciting new build tool for java applications with a number of 
innovative goals:
+  * make it easier to jump start a project from scratch
+  * make it easier to migrate from one project to another by using a 
standardized project directory tree
+  * make it easier to understand the build process by using standardized build 
phases
+  * make resolution of third-party jars automatic by dynamically downloading 
dependencies
+  * introduce the concept of a ''local repository'' to act as:
+    * a place to cache downloaded components
+    * a place to keep the main software artifacts generated by your project
+  * introduce the concept of a ''project object model'' (pom) as a single 
point of information about a project
+  * allows projects to be nested to effectively and consistently support the 
notion of modules
+  * allows dependencies between modules to be defined
+  * resolves dependencies transitively, whether between project modules, or 
third party components
+  * provide extensibility through the use of plugins
