Talking about real books: My quick search in a well-known online book store yielded several results.
One of them is the now unmaintained Sonatype book from 2008 (available for free online), which somebody else mentioned in this thread. The others, most of them more recent, I do not know, but maybe you can inspect them and read the reviews. Given the low numbers of reviews, maybe you better go to a offline book store and pre-order them for inspection. Then you can decide which ones to buy, if any, according to your own criteria. Some are available as e-books, too, as it seems. -- Alexander Kriegisch Bruno Melloni schrieb am 27.01.2022 21:10 (GMT +07:00): > It became very clear to me that my current approach of googling > tutorials, guides and solutions is a wildly inadequate approach to learn > Maven.
