Syllabus

Introduction to the Course

In this module, we will introduce you to the course and provide a comprehensive overview of Maven. You'll learn about the topics we will cover, the role of Maven in DevOps, and the resources you'll need to get started.

Set Up Maven Environment on Windows

In this module, we will guide you through setting up the Maven environment on a Windows system. You'll learn how to install Java and Eclipse, create your first Maven project, and understand key components such as Maven coordinates, directory structure, and goals. Additionally, we'll walk you through the steps to build a Java project using Maven and demonstrate Maven goals in action.

Maven Goals and Repositories

In this module, we will delve into Maven goals and repositories. You'll learn about the 'pom.xml' file, transitive dependencies, and the various types of Maven repositories. Additionally, we will cover the deploy goal for local repositories and provide a step-by-step guide to pushing your Maven project onto GitHub.

Maven on Linux

In this module, we will guide you through setting up and using Maven on a Linux system. You'll learn how to prepare the server, understand prerequisites, and install Maven. We will cover building Maven projects, exploring common goals, and creating projects with Maven archetypes. Additionally, you'll manage plugins and dependencies, configure the settings.xml file, and set up Tomcat server configurations for deploying WAR files.

Maven in DevOps Workflow

In this module, we will explore the integration of Maven within a DevOps workflow. You'll learn about the role of Maven, set up a Jenkins server, and add a Maven build server as an agent. We will guide you through building a Java project and creating a WAR file on the agent node, ensuring a smooth and efficient DevOps process.

SonarQube

In this module, we will delve into SonarQube, a tool for continuous inspection of code quality. You'll get an introduction to SonarQube, learn how to install it on an EC2 instance, and explore its console. We will also guide you through setting up SonarQube with a PostgreSQL database and integrating it with Jenkins to ensure consistent and high-quality code in your projects.

Additional Resources

In this module, we will provide you with essential additional resources to support your learning. You'll learn how to create an AWS account, install Git Bash and MobaXterm, and set up a Tomcat server. Additionally, we offer a bonus lecture to help you make the most out of the resources provided in this course.
