You can also use maven 1 and you'll find a lot of documentation in the web. There's also : - a book written by Vincent Massol & Tim O'Brien *Maven*: A *Developer's Notebook* - an article :http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2005/09/07/maven.html ....
A book for maven 2 will be available in some weeks / months !!
