The Maven Course is designed to provide participants with a strong understanding of Apache Maven, a build automation tool used primarily for Java projects. Maven is essential for managing project builds, dependencies, and documentation. The course covers Maven’s core concepts, configuration, integration with various tools, and its use in automating and managing software builds effectively.

High-Level Training Flow – Maven Course

1. Training Needs Analysis (TNA)
   Assess participants' existing knowledge of Java, build automation, and other build tools (e.g., Ant, Gradle). This helps to tailor the course content to the participants’ experience level and ensure the objectives meet their needs.

2. Curriculum Finalization & Agenda Approval
   Confirm course modules, session schedules, and learning outcomes. Core topics will typically include:

   • Introduction to Maven and its advantages

   • Maven installation and setup

   • Understanding the Maven project structure (POM, dependencies, repositories)

   • Maven commands for building and testing

   • Integrating Maven with IDEs (e.g., IntelliJ IDEA, Eclipse)

   • Advanced Maven topics (profiles, plugins, multi-module builds)
     The agenda is reviewed and approved to ensure it aligns with participants’ goals and needs.

3. Environment Setup
   Set up the necessary environment, including:

   • Installing Maven and configuring it on local machines or servers

   • Setting up Java and Maven-compatible IDEs

   • Ensuring participants have the correct project setups to practice Maven commands and workflows

   • Providing access to Maven Central Repository and local repositories for dependency management

4. Content Preparation
   Develop slides, demos, hands-on exercises, and real-world use cases that cover:

   • Understanding Maven’s role in Java project management

   • Defining a Maven project with pom.xml

   • Configuring dependencies and managing repositories

   • Running builds and tests using Maven commands

   • Best practices for dependency versioning and artifact management

   • Advanced features like profiles, plugins, and multi-module setups

5. Training Delivery
   Conduct live sessions combining theory, demonstrations, and practical labs. Key learning areas will include:

   • Setting up and configuring Maven for a Java project

   • Using Maven commands for compiling, testing, and packaging projects

   • Managing dependencies and repositories with Maven

   • Using Maven plugins for various tasks (compiling, testing, deploying)

   • Creating and managing multi-module Maven projects

   • Integrating Maven with continuous integration (CI) tools

6. Daily Recap & Lab Review
   After each session, summarize the key points, review completed exercises, and address any participant questions. This ensures that participants understand how to implement Maven in their own projects.

7. Assessment & Project Submission
   Evaluate participants through quizzes, hands-on exercises, and a final project. The project typically involves creating a Java project with Maven, including dependency management, custom Maven goals, and running tests and builds.

8. Feedback Collection
   Collect feedback from participants on course content, delivery pacing, practical exercises, and overall satisfaction. This feedback helps improve future sessions and ensures the training meets participants’ needs.

9. Post-Training Support
   Provide ongoing support via Q&A sessions, Slack/Telegram groups, or email. Participants can ask questions about Maven configurations, advanced usage, or integrating Maven with other tools in real-world scenarios.

10. Training Report Submission
    Document attendance, assessment results, project completion, and participant feedback. The final report summarizes participants' learning outcomes, their ability to use Maven for build automation, and any further recommendations.
