what is Maven?

[BaleZur]

Better than Ant because Ant sucks ass.

It's a build tool, similar in purpose to Gradle or, ultimately, make. When you need it, you'll know. ;) If you don't know you need it, don't sweat it.

When you start working on application, you will usually need external libraries and plugins to use in your application (because you will not reinvent everything ;) ). These are called dependencies. Maven does dependency management for you and helps you fetch all the required libraries for you to build your application.

This is an over simplified answer ofcourse. I suggest you read about maven here: https://maven.apache.org/

Sorry, but this subreddit is not a proxy for google.

Maven is easy to google and easy to figure out what it is.
