Apache Maven is a Software Project Management tool. Based on the concept of a Project Object Model (POM), Maven can manage a project’s build, reporting and documentation from a central piece of information.

On Crunchify, we do have more than ~20 different maven tutorials including Setting up Maven Classpath on Windows and MacOS, maven-war-plugin, maven-shade-plugin, maven-assembly-plugin, etc.

In this tutorial we will go over highly and widely used some tips and tricks which will fix most of the Maven and POM dependency related issues for your in Eclipse IDE.

Let’s get started:
