+ The project object model (POM) is the basis of how Maven works.
+ Development and management of your project is controlled from
+ the the project model. Currently you can store your project
+ object model in an XML file, but we are also working on RDBMS
+ storage using <a href="http://objectbridge.sourceforge.net";>
+ ObjectBridge</a>. Here's what a Maven POM
+ looks like in <a href="project-descriptor.html">XML</a> form.
+ </li>
+
+ <p/>
+
+ <li>
+ A single set of Ant files are used to build any number of projects
+ that you are managing. No more keeping track of countless build
+ systems. As improvements are made to the Maven build system
+ all Maven users benefit!
+ </li>
+
+ <p/>
+
+ <li>
+ Integration with Gump. For those who are not familiar with Gump it
+ is a tool used at Jakarta to help projects maintain backward
+ compatibilty with their clients. If you have a Maven project
+ descriptor then you can easily participate in nightly Gump
+ builds that will help your project stay abreast of the impact
+ your changes actually have in Java developer community. We are
+ working on our own massive build tool but integration with
+ Gump comes at no cost to Maven users.
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ Site publication based on the POM. Once the POM is accurate
+ your developers can easily publish the project's content which
+ includes custom documentation plus Maven's extensive documention
+ set based on your project's sources. Currently Maven provides the
+ following:
+ <ul>
+ <li>Change log document created directly from repository
information.</li>
+ <li>Cross referenced sources</li>
+ <li>Source metrics</li>
+ <li>Mailing lists</li>
+ <li>Developer list</li>
+ <li>Dependency list</li>
+ <li>Unit test reports</li>
+ <li>Article Collection</li>
+ <li>Software Development References</li>
+ <li>Software Development Process Documentation</li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+
+ <p/>
+
+ <li>
+ Distribution publication based on the POM. Once the POM is
+ setup accurately you can easily publish distributions safely
+ knowing that the distributions being made match exactly what
+ has been tagged in your repository.
+ </li>
+
+ <p/>
+
+ <li>
+ Maven encourages the use of a central repository of JARs. Maven
+ comes with a mechanism that your project's clients can use to
+ download any JARs requried for building your project from a
+ central JAR repository much like Perl's CPAN. This allows users
+ of Maven to reuse JARs across projects and encourages communication
+ between projects to ensure backward compatibility issues are
+ dealt with.
+ </li>
+
+ <p/>
+
+ <li>
+ Install Anywhere installers are <a href="download.html">available</a>
+ for a number of platforms to make getting started with Maven
+ as easy as possible.
+ </li>
+
+ <p/>
+
+ <li>
+ Directory layout guidelines. Maven comes with documentation on how
+ to layout your project's directory structure so that once you learn
+ the layout you can easily navigate any other project that uses
+ Maven.
</li>
