This introduction has been kept purposefully short. We have covered a basic outline of what Maven is and how it stacks up to and improves on other build tools throughout time. The next chapter will explain how to install and run Maven, and Chapter 3 will dive into a simple project and show how Maven can perform phenomenal tasks with the smallest amount of configuration.
