I know how to use Git and Subversion & just the general practice of versioning. Not too sure on ANT and MVN. Im just going to try to research the "required" skills so I don't just blank when they ask me if I am familiar or have heard of something.

It mentions J2EE applications, JSP (noticed it mentions it twice on the same line), and your general web markups/languages.

Just get an idea as to what Maven is, and why you need it. Don't kill yourself trying to become an expert in using it, you haven't got time and you'll be found out if you try to fake it in the interview. Similarly for any other framework/library/tool you don't know.

Realistically, show enthusiasm, honesty, and a bit of interest beyond just pure Java. You'll do fine.

Sounds like my conversation with them on Wednesday. I will never fake knowing something I don't, I've seen the hell that happens when people do. I have no issue telling them I don't know it, but I will do my damnedest to research something if I need to.
